Synopsis

Album Description

The Sleepy Jackson are impossible to pin down. Just when you think beautifully-crafted pop songs are the sum of their musical aspirations, along comes a psychedelic burn-out or a country-ish ballad to counter songwriter Luke Steele's pop sensibility. That diversity has been the secret of The Sleepy Jackson's success so far. As one rave review put it - 'Luke Steele's lack of direction is his direction, gospel to his rare artistic perception'. Since emerging from Perth, Western Australia, The Sleepy Jackson have steadily built a fan-base in Australia & Europe on the strength of Steele's broad songwriting palette & his dynamic stage persona (think Jimi Hendrix meets John Lennon). Now The Sleepy Jackson present their first album, 'Lovers', & this much anticipated full-length debut merely confirms Steele as an artist of extraordinary depth & songwriting talent. The album includes two of Steele's

CD Reviews

Great

kbarth17 | Luckenbach, TX | 12/14/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great album that has a laidback feel to it that you should listen to all the way through to really appreciate. It encompasses a bunch of different styles from folk, country, rock, pop, and just plain good songs. Its refreshing to hear an artist do what they want, even though you might think it resembles Beck at times. The Sleepy Jackson are one of the best bands to come around in awhile and hopefully they will continue to make outstanding music in the near future."

Weird and Wonderful

"I picked this cd up not really know what it was, but thinking it looked really interesting. The vocals are great as is the feel of the album. Its very mellow without being boring. I don't really have much patience for slow tracks but this album was really interesting and different. A few of the songs are just amazing. I'd highly recomend it to anyone looking for something a little different, but still comfortable."

I need you

"the sleepy jackson are a band that hails from australia encompassing different styles of a lil bit of jazz, alot of folk, tasty twang, pure rock, catchy pop and even some new wave-esque sounds. however, the music doesnt allow itself to just fall into any ordinary genre, the simply good boy-girl melodies and lyrics bring the listener to another magical place all together. straight from the haunted dream world of band leader luke steeles, the 2003 album lovers is an original piece of work which may seem a lil out of left field for some but for those who enjoy taking an open-minded risk, will immediately win over. ++"
