This Boston-based band makes 10-minute opuses that are lengthy, psychedelic, progressive, spacey, trancey and droney all at the same time.

Editorial review

Suntan's second offering, Send You Home, makes you believe that it is the early '90s. Shoegazing space rock is back and very healthy. Each epic track slowly builds into a lush layering affair. Send You Home starts out of the gate sounding like Jane's Addiction or Tripping Daisy, building driving guitars with effects against one another. One can make many references to My Bloody Valentine and Jessamine when listening to Suntan, but the band makes Send You Home their own. Suntan adds addition instruments into the typical rock outfit to create their own individual style. The subtle use of synths, organs, violins, and alto sax bring the tracks to a lush level, perhaps at times sounding like a more aggressive American Analog Set. "King Felix" is a big repetitive highlight that utilizes keyboard drones and vocal effects to create a huge atmosphere. The drums add funky offbeats and a wonderful tempo shift in the middle of "King Felix" to keep everything interesting. The average time of a song clocks in at eight minutes, except a nice cover of Them's "I Can Only Give You Everything" and a dreamy interlude/intro entitled "Wiles/Lecube Interlude." The tracks might be a tad too long, depending on your mood. Send You Home is solid second record which works well throughout, and with shoegaze making a strong comeback, this is one to have in your collection. ~ David Serra, All Music Guide

It's been a long cold six months since they introduced themselves with their self-titled EP, but SUNTAN, Boston's new psychedelic torch-bearers, are back with the complete statement. Send You Home is revelatory. Its huge lysergic buzz envelops the senses, as if pulling all the sounds of the world into its dense sonic weave. The songs seem to emanate from a serene place and aspire to plateaus of joy, with the 4-piece SUNTAN's effects-laden guitars and drum and organ swells pushing whatever envelope their melodies are threatening to burst out of. Things can get pretty massive. Even their cover of the Them garage standard "I Can Only Give You Everything" becomes a hairier beast, drenched with reverb and galloping grandly toward something bigger than a two-car. This is the only track herein that approaches traditional airplay-friendly length.
