Sleepy Sun are a blinking, lolloping pysch-rock and soul beast crawling out from under some remote rock. 7 minute epic, New Age, opens the album with stark drum patterns and dreamy vocals that envelop the listener. Lord is next up and introduces Sleepy Sun's range, with soulful crooning and melancholic piano to come off like Magistrates with talent, or Cold War Kids with a desire to be anything but safe. White Dove is in Black Mountain country with huge, brain-frying riffs and heavy pysch-rock wig outs. The closer is closer to folk than any of the above and witnesses acoustic, campfire-like sing alongs reprising the bucolic feel of punning-track Sleepy Son's harmonica. Poor marks for consistency, and stodgy in parts (see, Red/Black), Embrace is nevertheless a welcome addition to this year's roster.

I bought this CD as I had one Embrace CD, which I loved. I disliked this one immediately. It was the kind of music that I hate, very vague and mystical. I listened to it once and didn't want to go through listening to it again. Don't bother buying it (unless you like vague and mystical)! Rubbish.

dynamic & detailed psychedelic rock
25 Mar 2010
Format:Audio CD
This is a subtle & stunning debut album from this San Francisco band. There's a weirdly dynamic psychedelic
landscape in a desolate sea of guitars that's dark & beautiful, with the occasional noise overload
and flourishes of lurid energy, all delivered with emotional grit & intimate attention to detail.
References are Black Mountain, Loop, Jefferson Airplane, Drones, White Hills, Comets
On Fire, Citay, Dead Meadow.

Sleepy Sun - 'Embrace' (ATP Recordings)
26 Sep 2011
Format:Audio CD
Six-piece indie / psych band's first (of two, so far anyway) CD and every bit as good as it's follow-up 'Fever' (see my review). Tracks that managed to pull me right in were the seven-minute opener "New Age", the group's namesake "Sleepy Sun", "White Dove" which sort of reminds me of Bardo Pond, "Snow Goddess" and the well-played "Duet With The Northern Sky" that more than showcases the near-brilliance of Bret Constantino's and Rachel William's (doesn't look like she was on the previously mentioned 'Fever' CD) pipes. Also liked "Golden Artifact". Definitely, a should-have.
