Sleepy Sun – Fever

San Franciscans' masterpiece

‘Fever’ is an album of absolute beauty, a chaotic blend of grungy maniacal freak-outs contrasting perfectly with the blissful folk-like serenity captured on songs like ‘Acid Love’. The band’s unique bluesy psych sound dominates much of the record – they do it so well it would be foolish for them not to utilise their talents. 

Although the album is full of brilliance, album opener ‘Marina’ stands headstrong above the others in terms of scope and grandeur, a dirty distorted guitar solo coupled with an African style instrumental and tribal chorusing sees ‘Fever’ go from commendable to a masterpiece. 

9/10
