Formed in Santa Cruz and now based in San Francisco, the intense sextet of Sleepy Sun release their breathtaking debut album, 'Embrace'. Whether droning madly, spiralling into cascades of infinitely-echoing vocals or kicking back with their blissed-out take on classic Americana rock, Sleepy Sun are a band that has made many sit up and take immediate notice. 'Embrace' embodies the quintessential sound of West Coast psychedelia updated for the late noughties. Comprised of Brian Tice (drums), Jack Allen (bass), Rachael Williams (vocals, haberdashery & interpretive dancing) Bret Constantino (vocals & harmonica), Evan Reiss (guitars) and Matt Holliman (guitars), the band met in the counter-cultural hub city of Santa Cruz, California, citing pizza, horticulture, and Neil Percival Young as common interests. Drawing musical inspiration from Black Sabbath, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Can and Creation Records, they forged their sound in intense jam sessions, as heavy and as beautiful as redwoods meeting the ocean.
