Sleepy Sun, San Francisco’s answer to sweet psych rock arrive this Monday 10th of September to play Birmingham’s very own Hare & Hounds. The self-proclaimed ‘rambling band’ are fresh from a summer tour which saw them take to the stage at ATP’s I’ll Be Your Mirror festival and both Primavera festivals in Spain and Portugal.

After years of honing their skills in the van, this collective of dreamer-vagabonds have finally released an album which captures something of both the beautiful and the brutal in the form of this year’s ‘Spine Hits’. Recorded against a desert backdrop with Dave Catching (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal) producing, Sleepy Sun have managed to fuse the heavy jams they became known for with saccharine laced pop melodies that are hard for anyone to resist.

ATP netted a snapshot of the recording process viewable below:

Not long to go til our late summer event with Sleepy Sun, they’re touring their new record ‘Spine Hits’ and are a must for fans of Dead Meadow and Jefferson Airplane.

“Sleepy Sun’s miles, months, and days in the van are a tangible presence in Spine Hits, an LP of whimsy, restlessness, and urgency that leaps nimbly from landscape to landscape with ease, irreverence, and a catch-em-before-they-ain’t changeling nature. Recorded under the big skies of the California high desert, the jams on Spine Hits are alternatingly precision whittled and moodily muscular.”

Support comes from Mustard Tiger, who describe themselves as “Toxic, Loud and Obnoxious” and a new band featuring ex members of Mothwasp and Stinky Wizzleteat.
