Sleeper’s most lauded and successful album, 1996’s THE IT GIRL finds frontwoman Louise Wener reveling in her newfound Britpop star status. Ever sassy and assured, Wener leads her “Sleeperblokes” through top-notch tunes such as “Statuesque,” “Sale of the Century,” and “What Do I Do Now?”–reserving her small-yet-notable spot alongside Elastica’s Justine Frischmann in U.K. pop/rock history.
