"Given the breadth and seemingly willful changes in stylistic lean from one song to the next that happen throughout Sleep Walkers, I’m less inclined to guess what might be on a subsequent release from Some Pills for Ayala than I am to suggest simply that Cortés will keep it going. It’s a universe of infinite possibility, of course, but given the heart and obvious passion for the work that’s been put into this material, I would expect continued growth along the varied course charted here".

SOME PILLS FOR AYALA is the solo project of Chilean musician Néstor Ayala Cortés (At Devil Dirt). Among several EPs and singles released since 2021, this full length album (45 min) is his most delightful piece of space’n’spice cake. I am flabbergasted when I think that a single man wrote, played, sang, recorded and engineered this jewel. It’s such a tour de force. Sleep Walkers has a strong flavor of psychedelia merged with leaden riffs and most of all you will discover here what a great vocal work means – Oh yeah! Néstor is a stunning vocal performer! This album is 90% heavy psych + 60% stoner + 30% fuzz + 20% space = 200% pleasure!

THE THIRD EYE/by Tom Hanno "Sleep Walkers" is an excellent listening experience. Néstor wrote and executed this music with a high amount of skill, as well as knowing what listeners want to hear. I recommend this album, especially if you’re a psych or stoner music fan. Some Pills For Ayala is one of those projects that keeps improving as time goes by, so jump on board and dig into this and all of the other albums that are out under this name. Enjoy!
