SLEEP: Volume One Vinyl LP

Before the monk left and the riffs got longer.

Sleep's 1991 debut, recorded at Razor's Edge in San Francisco. The only album with original second guitarist Justin Marler, who left later that year to become an Orthodox monk. Darker and more overtly doom-leaning than the Holy Mountain and Dopesmoker stoner canon that followed. Cover art borrowed from Salvador Dalí's Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Bacon.
