After a short break following the success of their acclaimed second LP Fever last year, Sleepy Sun are currently working on new material ready for their next album, some of which will be debuted on their US/Canadian tour made up of headlining shows as well as a number of dates with The Black Angels. To celebrate the tour, the band release DESERT GOD from Fever as a digital single on the 10th May, with new unreleased track Toys as the b-side.

The single is available to pre-order now via iTunes – http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/desert-god/id431854836

Desert God itself is available to stream at the band’s iTunes Ping account, which fans can use to track the band’s activities: http://c.itunes.apple.com/gb/profile/id-12253 – fans who use iTunes should also note the band’s back catalogue is currently reduced in price!
