Sleeps Like a Curse is the second studio album by Australian band, The Panics.

Laffer said "Recorded in Sydney, this album began in Manchester, England.

Every day we ordered a black cab because it could fit all 5 of us and we would go to our rehearsal room in this Industrial Estate in Salford that no cab driver would agree to pick us up from, so we had to walk a few blocks, only this boxing gym was open.

"[1] The Panics started writing new material for this album late 2004 whilst they were touring the UK.

The album was produced by Tim Whitten (The Clouds, Powderfinger, Art of Fighting, The Go Betweens, The Necks, 78 Saab and The Smiths) and it was completed within a week.
