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
Sleepy Sun's Debut Album
Can listen to these songs over and over. Great music!
Love them
Just great, great music. I saw them in Raleigh recently, they opened for Arctic Monkeys, and they are one of the best live bands that i have ever had the pleasure of listening too.
Honestly...
Sleepy Sun needs to make another album... just to give myself proof that they are ultimately the best new band out there. They have really good moods and transitions within their songs. I love listening to new bands, but I had no idea this band would grab my heart and run with it. "Lord" is an excellent song with very touching lyrics. If you like... actually I can't think of any other band like these guys. Just listen to them.
