Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

SLEEPY SUN
sleepysun.net
Sleepy Sun will be releasing a fourth LP called Maui Tears on January 28th, 2014, via Dine Alone Records.
In the meantime, check out Psych-Out Christmas from Cleopatra Records, released last November. The double disc (double vinyl) collection contain a lot of Christmas and holiday songs from your favorite artists: Iggy Pop, The Fuzztones, Sons Of Hippies, Dead Meadow, Psychic Ills, Dark Horses, Quintron & Miss Pussycat etc.
Among the artist is Sleep Sun's version of "What Child Is This?", which you can hear on Soundcloud.
I caught Sleepy Sun at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis in 2009, which I noted for their lengthy psychedelic songs: "Surprisingly, they had a pretty short setlist ... but they seem to stretch out each song to about 6+ minutes, especially with the drone-like guitar and experimental effects usually reserved towards the end of each song. I particularly liked how "White Dove" and "New Age" ended on their live set."
Look for Sleepy Sun to return on the road when Maui Tears is released.

SUNN O)))
sunn.southernlord.com
In 2008, Sunn O))) announced at their 200th gig at the Øya festival that they will be working with Norwegian legends Ulver. The two bands came into the studio and did three three "live in improvisation" pieces, starting that evening and ending at dawn.
Ulver's singer Kristoffer Rygg talks about the recording process, "We were sitting in the console room, early in the morning, listening to the takes. Someone said, 'ah, sunrise over Crystal Canyon,' as if the night had been a dark one. We all laughed and Greg proposed it as a title. In that setting it sounded perfect. The boys had mentioned wanting the music to orient towards the light, like some lost pilgrim stretching before the sun. We kept that mental picture for the processing."
The Sunn O)))/Ulver collaboration record is called Terrestrials, and it is hitting stores on February 4th, 2014, via Southern Lord. Since Sunn O))) is primarily a touring band, expect them to head out on tour in 2014. Ulver, on the other hand, is doing a few dates in Europe:
