If you ever wondered what Robert Smith might sound like wandering through a romantic autumn night, SLEEPNOWQUEEN just gave us the answer. Their new single, “At the Pumpkin Patch,” released on October 17, 2025, turns the simple idea of a cozy seasonal date into something cinematic, nostalgic, and quietly seductive. Recorded at Ryan’s Recording Studio in Kansas City, MO, this track glows like a jack-o’-lantern under starlight, familiar yet strangely hypnotic.

Blending 80s darkwave textures with modern indie-pop storytelling, “At the Pumpkin Patch” feels like an ode to love in its most playful and innocent form. The production is stripped enough to let the atmosphere breathe, soft synth pads, echoing percussion, and a pulsing rhythm that keeps the dream moving forward. SLEEPNOWQUEEN’s vocals, smooth and shadowy, float above the mix like mist in moonlight, giving the track that signature alt-goth charm reminiscent of The Cure’s gentler moments.
It’s refreshingly visual “Together at the pumpkin patch, apple bob and crunchy leaves, pumpkins all around our feet.” You can picture the scene vividly: two lovers wrapped in the glow of string lights, walking hand in hand through the autumn air. It’s simple, almost childlike, yet there’s a layer of intimacy and escapism underneath, a kind of “let’s get lost in our own world” energy that makes the song linger.

What makes “At the Pumpkin Patch” stand out isn’t just its theme (how many songs dare to romanticize an adult pumpkin patch?) it’s the way it commits to the mood. SLEEPNOWQUEEN has a knack for turning quirky concepts into emotional snapshots. Every note, every lyric feels intentional, inviting you into this nostalgic alternate universe where love and creativity coexist without irony.
