Album Review: Sleepy - Maui Tears

Bluesy Californian psych-rockers Sleepy Sun return with their fourth full-length record Maui Tears. It picks up pretty much where predecessor Spine Hits left off; it's a relaxed, fuzzy and fun approach to Americana. Beautifully distorted and overdriven guitars hold the record together through looser moments and poppier hooks. The band still fall into trappings of never quite lifting off to float in space, but highlights like the groovy Everywhere Waltz and Spacemen 3-cum-Bardo Pond ten-minute closing title track show the band are more than worthy of a listen for anyone with an ear for psych/stoner-rock.
