Album of the day: Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound – When Sweet Sleep Returned

Lovingly pinched from Strangeglue.com: It doesn’t take long to realise just how good a record this is. By the time the second cut ‘Two Birds’ drops Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound have either sunk their hooks or sent you running.

What I like about this record lies beyond the riffs, buried in the overall tone and effect of listening. The soaring choral hook on ‘Two Birds’ exemplifies the ecstatic excitement running through the whole record. Listening to When Sweet Sleep Returned feels like flying a big kite in a big wind; you get picked up now and then, it pits you against your own gravity with sky-high fantasies.
