- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
With layered guitar lines and aural effects that hang like dispersed
dandelion seeds in a summer breeze, WHEN SWEET SLEEP RETURNED finds San
Francisco's Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound perfecting their trippy
symphonics across eight sweeping tracks. For this, their third full-length,
the former trio expanded to a quintet and continued to leave fans wondering
if they are the planet's biggest acid indulgers or if they just have
extensive record collections by those that were. No matter, as tracks like
"The Slumbering Ones" and "Two Birds" continually and effortlessly build
climaxes to give listeners a constant thrumming peak. Recording with Tim
Green--a producer cornering their market on the best instrumentally driven
neo-psych of his day from Comets on Fire to Six Organs of Admittance--the
band matches lengthier jamming passages with enough catchy shreds of melody
to entertain the more clear-eyed.Pitchfork (Website) - "Assemble Head have
frequently found themselves on the edge of mellow, and this new album --
while still fairly powerful with the volume up -- seems to be reining in
their more chaotic tendencies, with fewer blown-out serrated edges and more
clean, open space."
