Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded late in their debut album's sessions at the behest of their label for a potential hit, 'Sunday Morning' stands in stark contrast to the band's harsh, feedback-driven material. The track prominently features a celesta, providing a gentle, chiming dreaminess that belies Lou Reed's lyrics about lingering paranoia. It masterfully showcases the delicate, fragile side of a group otherwise known for their abrasive avant-garde rock.
