Sleepy Sun play an amazing mix of psychadelic, shoegaze, folk, and stoner rock for a sound that is full, delicate, storming, and HIGHLY enjoyable. Their debut album "Embrace" is available NOW on iTunes, and will be in stores in the UK on 5/11 and US on 5/26. I know that I'll be picking up my physical copy. Don't miss out on these guys!!
For Fans of: Black Mountain, Dead Meadow, Built to Spill, My Bloody Valentine, etc.
“San Francisco's Sleepy Sun is one of those every-so-often bands that absorbs, processes, and spits out its influences in such a way as to make pee run down the pants legs of music reviewers everywhere…They are designed to explode the most expanded of frontal lobes...” -SF Weekly
“...Comfortable, a high drenched in fog, floating inland on ocean wind. Compositionally, things feel natural and free. Each instrument as integral as the rest. Breathing, moving…” -Aquarius Records
“Sleepy Sun’s songs, mellifluously flowing between bittersweet balladry and paranoid, hazy atmospherics, are like a 2am car ride — not going somewhere, not coming back, but taking an unexpected detour through uncertain terrain. A sublime fog, the mood is both assured and undefined, leaving me to drift, to slither, through a spectrum that ranges from the nostalgic to the anxious, from the freewheeling to the claustrophobic….” -Naturalismo
"...This collective of young longbeards has become one of the town's most beloved bands in a very short period of time, laying down lumbering servings of heavy psychedelic freakadelia and dusted Northern Californian psych-folk. Williams' angelic voice weaves in-between a sublimely mind-rattling cacophony reminiscent of Santa Cruz psych-rock alumni Comets on Fire at their headiest...If rapturous local buzz is any indication, Sleepy Sun might be the best bet of the next Santa Cruz band to break big..." -Metro Santa Cruz
"Sleepy Sun have an honest, high-energy show that ranges from hard, early Sabbath-level rock to a genuine gospel/spiritual vibe, all making Sleepy Sun a really tough act to follow. Their discipline, dynamics, dominance over tempo (the subtlest and most commonly overlooked musical device), and brooding nature evokes comparisons as disparate as Black Sabbath, George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", Pink Floyd and Bjork . . . and we still haven’t heard the record." -The Deli Magazine SF
