Sleepy Sun

Sleepy Sun is an American psychedelic rock band hailing from San Francisco, California, known for their richly-layered melodies, ethereal vocals, and atmospheric soundscapes that seem to draw from the cosmic expanses of the genre's 1960s and 1970s heyday. The band was formed in the mid-2000s by students attending the University of California, Santa Cruz, and initially went by the name Mania before adopting their current moniker. Their music is characterized by a dynamic combination of heavy riffs, dreamy interludes, and a potent rhythm section, all complemented by the haunting and sometimes explosive vocal performances.

With albums like "Embrace" (2009) and "Fever" (2010), Sleepy Sun firmly established their presence within the psychedelic rock scene, garnering attention for their spirited live performances and expansive sound. They continued to refine their craft over the years, exploring a blend of garage rock, blues, and folk influences. The band's subsequent releases such as "Spine Hits" (2012), "Maui Tears" (2014), and "Private Tales" (2017) saw them delving into deeper experimental territory while maintaining the sonic integrity that their fans had come to love. Sleepy Sun’s compelling musical journey gives testament to their commitment to the psychedelic ethos, with a modern twist that resonates with a new generation of listeners.
