Sleep In Your Car is a live field recording style album by American indie-folk group Insomniac Folklore. It was recorded onto a cassette tape by Eric Funn using a single microphone with no overdubs.[1] The recording occurred while the band was on tour through Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 2013.[2]

Sleep In Your Car was first released digitally by Funn Folk Sounds,[1] and soon after, it was released on cassette by Insomniac Folklore.[3]

The Modern Folk was quoted saying that "this particular release documents an energetic performance" and further described Insomniac Folklore as "a driving guitars and drums three piece characterized by dead-pan Calvin Johnson (musician) -esque male vocals harmonized with sweeter female singing." They proceeded to talk about the field-style by saying that "the clipping, one mic cassette tape recording is perfect for the band's sound and the label's mission".[4]
