Sleepy Sun have managed to come up with an album that is beautifully entrancing, and doesn't encourage the listener to go to sleep before the mid point.
-
At times, Embrace can get a little too droning and repetitive, but it's a confident and promising debut.
-
Under The RadarWhile much of Embrace draws on the alchemic power of the jam, most notably the billowing white-noise eruption of 'White Dove,' it's a keen grasp of songwriting nuance that differentiates them from the legions of neo-psych charlatans. [Summer 2009, p.70]
-
As with any album that features epic, largely instrumental tracks, pacing is paramount, and Sleepy Sun does an excellent job breaking up the Goliath tracks with hit-and-runs like Red/Black and with some lovely acoustic numbers.
-
Sleepy Sun are at their best when they revel in both light and dark, unleashing throatily riffing guitars to disrupt pastoral interludes.

FilterDespite the album's wide-armed title and obvious sweet-leafed leanings, these may not be the kind of people you want to party with. [Spring 2009, p.102]
-
UncutEmbrace plies its trade with a neat mix of musical proficiency and stylistic flexibility. [Jun 2009, p.93]
