Some songs don’t just hit your ears — they hit your soul. Cousin Sleepy, the Tulsa-raised, San Diego-connected artist, has just delivered one of those rare tracks with his new single “Slo-Mo Summer” featuring Rollin’ Roots.
Blending sun-soaked melodies, reggae-drenched rhythms, and indie warmth, Cousin Sleepy isn’t just making music — he’s bottling up the feeling of golden-hour nostalgia and handing it to you.

“It’s about finding time to slow it down & live a loving life with gratitude,” Cousin Sleepy shares.
A simple message, but in a fast, noisy world, it’s the kind of reminder we all need a little more of.

Born from a cross-country collaboration that started through casual online messaging, “Slo-Mo Summer” grew into a shimmering anthem of creeks, lakes, and ocean-side living. It’s a song tailor-made for lazy float trips, beach bonfires, and those moments when time seems to stretch in the best way possible.
Whether you’re from the rolling rivers of Oklahoma or the sun-bleached beaches of California, this track feels like home. 

Stylistically, Cousin Sleepy floats between Jack Johnson’s laid-back acoustic vibe and the breezy punch of Slightly Stoopid and 311. The result? A hypnotic, effortless sound that makes “Slo-Mo Summer” feel like a postcard from a memory you don’t want to forget.

Still, the journey here wasn’t all sunshine.
As an independent artist, the biggest hurdle, Cousin Sleepy says, has been “getting that chorus out of your head!”
(Which, honestly, feels less like a challenge and more like a well-earned brag.)
His advice for new artists? — “Meet yer new favorite cuzzos!” — reminding fans that connection and community are at the heart of his music.

With new music already in the mixing stage for both Cousin Sleepy and Rollin’ Roots, this is just the beginning of the party.
So crank up “Slo-Mo Summer” to full blast, throw on your shades, and let Cousin Sleepy soundtrack your sweetest memories.

“Blast this full volume all summer fam!!”

Trust us — you’ll be glad you did.
