Some of the best new shoegaze!, May 14 2008
By Cynthia S. Lyman "CSL" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drowned in a Sea of Sound (Audio CD)
I was very excited for the release of the first full-length album from The Daysleepers, and I wasn't disappointed! While my favorite songs of this band are still on their EPs, the upbeat, dreamlike, and rhythmic characteristics of their songs that I love so much are found on most of the songs on this album.
A few songs on the album are more heavy and less melodic than songs on previous releases. But, Twilight Bloom, Megatron Supernova, and Release the Kraken are the three songs that best represent the potential of this group and display the depths of their musical talent.

The Daysleepers Stand Apart, Feb 9 2012
By Herbert West - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drowned in a Sea of Sound (Audio CD)
I should start off by saying that I am not really a Dreampop or Shoegaze fan whatsoever. My thing is New Wave, Post Punk, and Industrial. Other than the mid eighties 4AD groups like Cocteau Twins, I find the genre too abstract and not entertaining.Then, somehow The Daysleepers popped up on Pandora. The song was Release The Kraken. I was floored. For one, it sounds a bit like the guitar progressions in Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult which didn't hurt. The first thing that caught me however was the power of the drum sound that this album has. Most shoegaze and dreampop bands I have heard are very lacking on percussive power and presence. Its usually just tinny and flat sounding casio samples etc. The Daysleepers, while totally having a classic Cure/New Order guitar sound, benefit primarily from having a heavy "rock" sound to the drums. Each of these songs are tight, snappy, and focused. The songs move along at a cinematic live pace. Everything from the dual vocalists to the throbbing bass and sparse synth is DRENCHED in reverb. If you're one of those people that can't stand a lot of reverb, then this album would probably drive you crazy.
Still, in a time of boring indie pop and shoegazy hipster tripe, The Daysleepers stand above and an original act and distinguish themselves from those who are not worthy of your time.
Love the album cover and name too. It reflects the music PERFECTLY.
Great moody stuff here

Dream, Dream, Dream In A Sea of Sound, May 28 2011
By Matthew A. Koch - Published on Amazon.com
This bank was recommended to me by a guy I met in a bar in NYC getting ready to enter the Bowery Ballroom for a Mark Kozelek concert. I bought it without knowing much about them, just a hunch. I'm so glad I bought it. It's the only thing I listen to now for a few weeks. It's a mix between a slow Cure album and an ocean relaxing sound. Very happy with it!
Listmania!
