SLEEP / SUMMER!

"Sleep / Summer!" is the second single recording by Australian, Melbourne based experimental music act King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The single was originally an independently released CDr, which was initially released in a limited number of copies and which wasn´t initially available in a digital format. It was released in 2010. In December 2020 the two tracks from the single were included on the "Teenage Gizzard" compilation album.

The two tracks from the single sound like they were recorded at the same sessions which spawned the two tracks from the other 2010 single from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard titled "Hey There / Ants & Bats". A raw and lo-fi recorded psychedelic rock/garage rock style with surf rock leanings is what you get here. The band are well playing and the lo-fi recording quality is not a huge issue. It actually provides the material with some nice rehearsal room authenticity. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
