Reviews of Fall Asleep When Awaking

"Huntington Beach quartet Lazy Preacher imbue rock with a no-worries amble that evokes patchouli and artfully crafted bongs. But ditch any negative connotations you have regarding hippie music because these dudes write songs that ooze a sweet wistfulness, like orange marmalade spreading on whole wheat bread and without the smile-on-your-brother cloyingness. Their third and latest disc, Fall Asleep When Awaking, even contains a winning country rock cover of the Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant.” The bulk of the album recalls the Grateful Dead’s more stripped-down, less-bombastic moments and Beachwood Sparks’ melting-euphoria melodicism."
- OC WEEKLY

"Plaintive vocals linger amidst a toiling stream of acoustic guitar tinkerings and a subliminally minimal rhythm track as the slight, but catchy chorus attacks ... guitars and sing-songy verses abound, making for an American counterpoint to Sub Pop’s acid folk funkateers Jennifer Gentle ... moments of originality continually bob to the surface to ignite excitement: be it a swirling pan flute, a raga guest attack (by someone named Mr. Ganjahmon no less) or a burst of Flaming Lips-style absurdism (“My jesus smoking cocaine”) on “Circling Babble Hurts.” By the time Lazy Preacher lurches into a hill-billy slash-and-burn cover of the Sex Pistols “Pretty Vacant” its obvious nothing is sacred and everything is set to implode. In a good way."
