A long, strange trip that gallops direct from sun-parched SoCal to your speakers
Label: ATP Recordings

Of all the West Coast psych-rock practitioners keeping the patchouli flames burning, Sleepy Sun initially seem like the most laidback. On opener "Marina," lazy, distorted chords drag under dual singers Bret Constantino and Rachel Williams's narcotic croons. However, soon a tribal rhythm kicks in and the reverie is snapped. It's a trick employed again and again across Fever, and it defines Sleepy Sun's modus operandi: fooling you into filing them under "stoner jams" before assaulting you with motorik grooves and full-on freakouts. "Desert God"'s midway explosion into gospel-like exhortations and pained shrieks feels particularly potent.

The 10-minute album closer "Sandstorm Woman" packs in everything the group has learned and acquired across Fever and debut album Embrace. It's a disorienting desert trip through clouds of feedback and swirls of distortion, a long, strange trip that gallops direct from sun-parched SoCal to your speakers.

This album has it all: MASSIVE riffs, gentle folky passages, tribal drumming...thundering moments, thoughtful moments, trippy moments. The band's name is quite apt, as the one thing that ties together their sound is the warm, sun-drenched feel of every song. One of the very best albums of 2010.

The song writing just keeps on getting better for their last album. I listen to this album all the time. It's nice to see Sleepy Sun get better on their sophomore record.
