After releasing a series of compilations commemorating the Tortoise, Sonic Youth, Shellac and Autechre-curated ATP festivals, ATP Recordings went on to form a label and sign a small roster of acts. Releases by Threnody Ensemble, Bardo Pond, The Magic Band, Fursaxa, Jackie-O Motherfucker and others have all made their way into the heads and hearts of the music-loving public. In the tradition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festivals, the ATP Recordings label is designed to be a vehicle that documents great music. ATP Recordings will also continue to work in tandem with its festival partner and release truly diverse collections which reflect the mission of the festival.

"Sleepy Sun is a California band from many Californias. They hail from the rolling oak and sage hills of Sierra Gold Country, The San Francisco Peninsula, where Kesey raged and the Dead were once Warlocks, and the forever-sunshine climes of the Southland. They came together -- young and garage strutting -- in the coastal Northern California crucible of Santa Cruz. And there they birthed the Sleepy sound -- dead blues shaken alive, razor sharp and ramblin', soul, sonic science and dead-on pop surgery. Wooden, earthy, stratospheric, and swinging California music of beautiful contrasts for conflicted times. Now, two records into a frighteningly fast-blossoming evolution, Sleepy Sun are a living machine of fire and focus. Their first release on ATP records Embrace illuminated the golden path to Sleepy land -- hard-riffing, delicate, dreamy and cultivated. The latest ATP release, Fever, is arrival at the palace the path promised. Fever is the honey harmonies and danger wailing of Bret Constantino and Rachel Williams pulled from a tender tangle into steel-strong braid; the wing-on-wing guitars of Matt Holliman and Even Reiss in screaming dives and sweet ascending circles; the lowdown served up tough and thundering from drum and bass authorities Brian Tice and Jack Allen."

"Fursaxa is Tara Burke. Formerly a member of the Siltbreeze band UN, Tara started her Fursaxa project in 1999 after UN disbanded. Since then Fursaxa has released six full length albums on the Acid Mothers Temple label, Ecstatic Peace, Time Lag, Eclipse, Last Visible Dog, and ATP. In addition there have been 3 self released CD-Rs and a CD on her own Sylph recordings. In the summer of 2008 Fursaxa started recording her seventh full length record Mycorrhizae Realm at Hexham Head studio in Philadelphia. This studio recording is a first, as all of the previous releases have been recorded at home on a four track. In addition to recording, Fursaxa has played live music at venues in the US, UK, and Europe, touring with Bardo Pond, Black Forest/Black Sea, Christina Carter, Jack Rose, Spires That in The Sunset Rise, and Brightblack Morning Light to name a few. Over the last couple of years Fursaxa has been collaborating more and more with other musicians as well. Espers member Helena Espvall and Tara have a duo called Anahita, and Sharron Kraus and Tara have the duo Tau Emerald. And in September of 2006 Fursaxa became part of The Valerie Project, which was a live soundtrack for the 1970 Czech film Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders. Tara really enjoyed playing with these musicians and decided to engage Greg Weeks, Mary Lattimore, and Helena Espvall, all fellow Valerians, for her next album. Greg recorded the album at his studio, Mary played harp on 4 songs and also co-wrote 2 of the songs, and Helena played cello on 3 songs. It is an exercise in symbiosis."

"The record is a major departure from the band's most notable predecessor, Spirit - which was completed 4 years prior. Where Spirit explored a dark world of reverberant guitars, ambient passages, and minimal, haunting vocals, Climb Up proves a bold step out of that darkness. The intricacies of this new world are depicted as if staggering from the world of Spirit into a very different, more illuminated place. Not to mention its packed with more grooves, a greater use of electronics, a range of instruments both modern and classical and -- notably -- a much stronger emphasis on voices and melodies. Climb Up is dense, innovative, cinematic. Apse draw from a colourful palette of different genres, techniques, instruments and approaches - and with that have made what is likely to be one of the most curious, and probably largely unexpected albums of the year. Listen, and be immersed."

Formed in Santa Cruz and now based in San Francisco, the intense sextet of Sleepy Sun release their breathtaking debut album, Embrace. Whether droning madly, spiraling into cascades of infinitely-echoing vocals or kicking back with their blissed-out take on classic Americana rock, Sleepy Sun are a band that has made many sit up and take immediate notice. Recorded in Vancouver, British Columbia, in January 2008, the album embodies the quintessential sound of West Coast psychedelia updated for the late noughties. "Golden Artifact" was conceived in the band's Santa Cruz living room, nicknamed The Dungeon for its low ceilings, low lighting, and various smells, and sounds like a dark incantation, "Lord" is a beautiful, melancholy, shuffling piano-tinged ballad, warmed by the light of the sun, and "New Age" harkens Brightblack Morning Light's hazy harmonies, ending with a thunderous freakout, written after watching every Hellraiser and Jim Henson film in succession. Comprised of Brian Tice (drums), Jack Allen (bass), Rachael Williams (vocals, haberdashery & interpretive dancing) Bret Constantino (vocals & harmonica), Evan Reiss (guitars) and Matt Holliman (guitars), the band met in the counter-cultural hub city of Santa Cruz, California, citing pizza, horticulture, and Neil Percival Young as common interests. Drawing musical inspiration from Black Sabbath, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Can and Creation Records, they forged their sound in intense jam-sessions, as heavy and as beautiful as redwoods meeting the ocean.

Sleepy Sun is an apt title for this young San Francisco sextet, and their forthcoming debut full-length, Embrace, is one of those rare slabs of rock and roll that will wake you up in the morning, and send you off to sleep at night. With their throbbing rhythm section, swirling sea of guitars, and dreamy, haunting duet vocals, the word dynamic is a severe understatement. Here are two dream-inducing tracks off of their full-length.
