iTunes Review
It’s no surprise that the San Francisco Bay Area has become a wellspring of indie-rock with roots in the acid-drenched ‘60s. What is surprising is the quality of the music, and the range of flavors that are so skillfully explored. Sleepy Sun (now based in San Francisco, formed by UC Santa Cruz students) pings in two directions, often in the same song, with contemporary psychedelic tones colored in both expansive, hard-rock edges and dreamy, soft-focus bliss. Opening track “New Age” is a good introduction to what lies ahead, with languorous, reverbed vocals hovering over simmering guitars that roil to a red-hot fireburst nearly six minutes in. The nine-minute opus “White Dove” is heavy stoner rock and hazy tripping all in one, and the sludgy “Red/Black” blooms into a bluesy, glorious mess before ending all too soon. Tracks like “Lord” and “Duet With the Northern Sky” dip into folk history, and unveil the strong vocals of both Rachel Fannan and Bret Constantino. If Embrace is about life’s precarious balancing act, and embracing the dark with the light, the yin and the yang, Sleepy Sun are one gigantic bear hug.
Customer Reviews
Good, but...
I saw these live a couple weeks ago in Newcastle. They started off soooo well but soon devolved into a samey same "Black Mountain"-type bluesy drone. They would benefit far more buy varying tempos a bit and rocking out more often. Some great songs nevertheless and awesome guitar sounds coupled with pitch perfect boy-girl vocals.
