Like Howlin' Rain, the Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound play psychedelic rock I can get into. Probably because, for all the jamming, the songs on When Sweet Sleep Returned never slip into a dirge or get bogged down in slow muddy riffs. Sure, there's a hell of a lot of wailing guitars and pounding drums -- and listening to this album will likely get you stoned -- but even at 7 minutes, songs like "Two Birds Sang" keep me interested. It and "Kolob Canyon", one my other favorites, both incorporate in bits of Gram Parson and the Byrds' country sound of Southern California. The songs ebb and flow between harder and lighter fare creating a very cohesive album.

Although i have every intention of downloading this from teepee once it's released, i can't help but wonder if it has leaked?
Probably. This was a review copy.
