While it's not as diverse as Spanish Dance Troupe or as immediate as How I Long to Feel That Summer in My Heart, Sleep/Holiday is just as lovely and heartfelt, and another fine addition to Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's body of work.
-
A record of truly original and moving songwriting.
-
MojoGorky's play it spare and (mostly) live, placing further emphasis on their long-established pastoral bent. [Sep 2003, p.100]
-
Though still often warm and tender, Sleep/Holiday lacks the surprise or the diversity of some of their better work.
-
Where they used to be more wild and interesting they seem to have mellowed with age.
-
Q MagazineA perfeclty poised, richly textured set of light-footed psychedelic pop. [Sep 2003, p.101]
-
Sleep/Holiday finds Gorky's sticking to its idiosyncratic pop guns.
-
UncutThis is mostly acoustic guitars lovingly plucked, drums delicately brushed, fiddles softly sawn. [Oct 2003, p.113]
-
Under The RadarHow unfortunate that their album has sleep in the title and that's the one thing you'll want to do while listening to it. [#5, p.101]
