Album Notes & Community Reviews

Distributed as an ambitious independent double-LP, this sprawling project is a deeply strange, highly personal exploration of acid rock. The tracks wander through bizarre comedic interludes, spoken word poetry, and extended, fuzzed-out improvisations. It is widely considered one of the most eccentric and highly valued artifacts of American private-press psychedelia.
