About

Too Much Sleep is the second album by the experimental college rock/art rock band Bongwater. It was released in 1989.

"Talent Is a Vampire," "The Bad Review," and "Ill Fated Lovers Go Time Tripping" were written by Kramer, Magnuson, and Dave Rick. The title track was written strictly by Kramer, while "One So Black" was written by former King Missile member Dogbowl. Notable cover tunes include "The Drum" written by Peter Blegvad and Anthony Moore, "Why Are We Sleeping?" by Kevin Ayer, and "Splash 1" by the 13th Floor Elevator, one of two Roky Erickson covers with which Bongwater made themselves famou. .
