Album Notes & Community Reviews
Reinventing their lineup to include viola and sophisticated orchestral arrangements, Caravan reached an absolute peak of melodic Canterbury Scene brilliance. 'For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night' balances wonderfully quirky, delightfully playful British psychedelia with incredibly warm, fiercely complex progressive rock suites and hard-rock swagger.
