Sleepy Sun prepares 'Spine Hits'; stream a new song (debut)

Sleepy Sun 2012
Sleepy Sun

Sleepy Sun‘s first LP without the powerful voice of Rachel Fannan, and third LP overall is Spine Hits, due on April 10th via The End Records. The San Francisco psychedelic pop band keeps some of the same influence on Spine Hits, yet forges in different directions on the new record as evidenced by tracks like “Stivey Pond” and “V.O.G.” The latter makes its debut in this post, and you can listen to both below.

As discussed, Sleepy Sun kicks off a round of tour dates with a free show at Amoeba Records tomorrow (4/3), eventually heading to the East Coast for string of shows with White Hills. The NYC dates are Glasslands on April 9th (with Weird Owl) and Mercury Lounge on April 10th. Tickets for both Glasslands and Mercury Lounge are still available.

All tour dates and those song streams are below.
