The album also crammed full of innovative bleeps and squeaks - if you're familiar with Four Tet you'll know the sort of thing--which add more of a unique selling point which in the end isn't all that necessary, because this is a somewhat dazzling album from some great talents, and it has an abundance of riches.
-
The depth and craft in these songs keep The Sun interesting and make its inspired moments that much better.
-
Overall, The Sun feels like three men taking things at their own leisurely pace but without wasting a second.
-
Most of the album is still enjoyable, however, and certainly provides some new ideas for instrumental rock music.
-
Though The Sun has plenty of accomplished performances by a capable and experienced band, it’s not very exciting stuff.
-
It would be difficult to convince yourself that The Sun is anything but meandering and listless.
-
When the band operates under more traditional songwriting styles they can be quite catchy, but the more wandering, abstract moments can sometimes wander a little too far into non-structured noise.
