"Sleeping with a Friend" opened the Pop Psychology campaign in 2014 as the first single from Neon Trees' third album, and Tyler Glenn named an unexpected touchstone for it: Peter Gabriel's So. He also reckoned it was the biggest-sounding song the band had made yet.
Glenn wrote the words and shared the music with Tim Pagnotta, who produced, recorded and mixed it on his own, a one-man control room. Heather Allen of Mind Equals Blown heard a catchy throwback, with the keyboards and drums shoved into the spotlight and the guitars kept quietly in the background, which is where its old-school feel comes from.
