PARASOL: Melancholy pop-spiritualism and dreamy harmonies coalesce on the new album, Easy Tensions, by Norwegian orch-drone-pop outfit Sleepyard. Euphoric ethereal art-pop, dreamsicle choruses that don’t need verses, chanted mantras that sooth any troubled soul.



Exceptionally melodious and mysterious orchestral drone-popping psychedelic meanderings from Norway,, s Sleepyard, plush sounds akin to French retro-dream-poppers Mellow (but mellower), Sean O,, Hagan,, s High Llamas (but much higher), and The Beach Boys most far-out recordings. With the prerequisite heavenly harmonies and mantric chanting leading the way, Sleepyard get their cosmic groove on, and you the listener will float away in the iridescent bubble of your choosing. An album where Summer is always just around the corner.



HIGH BIAS: Sleepyard is well-named. Easy tensions floats on amber waves of ambient baroque pop, gently wafting over your earlobes the way a breeze flutters over the top of a field of grass. The Kersbergen brothers add layer upon layer of harmonies (when there are vocals at all) and warm analog keyboards to their soporific psychedelia. "Sea of Love" is an honest-to-goodness pop tune, but "Memory of a "Moondog", "Wild Honey Skyline" and the appropriately-titled "My Lush Friend" sound like unused backing tracks from Smile. Whether thats manna from heaven or muzak from hell is up to you.

Sleepyard will also be featured on Mind Expansion compilation 3
