Sleeper is the sixth studio album by American indie rock musician Ty Segall, released on August 20, 2013, on Drag City.

Recorded between January and March 2013, the album features primarily acoustic psychedelic folk compositions, and is influenced by the death of Segall's father and his subsequent estrangement from his mother.

It just was necessary for me to put that out there, recording a song or writing it down on a piece of paper to get it out of my head and body, so I could move on to other things.

"[3] At this time, Segall became estranged from his mother, writing the track "Crazy" directly about her.

Segall stated, "I hope she hears it, 'cause she needs to wake up and change what she does with her life.

My friend Eric Bauer was in San Francisco, and I'd go to his house three to four times a week.

"[4] Regarding Sleeper's overall acoustic aesthetic, Segall noted, "There wasn't any intention behind it, which is the weird thing.

The band consisted of Nodzzz and White Fence guitarist Sean Paul, The Traditional Fools' bassist Andrew Luttrell, and regular band member and Fuzz guitarist Charles Moothart on drums.

[5] Regarding this touring configuration, Segall noted, "We're doing The Sleeper Band, which is the mellow version.

"[7] Writing for Pitchfork, Evan Minsker gave the album a very positive review, stating: "Everything here easily lives in the same universe - ten tracks of similarly hued songs, all of a piece.
