Now Is the Happiest Time of Your Life

by Daevid Allen

Following his departure from the legendary progressive rock outfit Gong, the eccentric Australian visionary retreats to a deeply personal, acoustic-leaning psychedelic sound. The album is characterized by whimsical, absurdist poetry, experimental tape loops, and a pastoral, hippie-commune atmosphere. It serves as a fascinating, stripped-down reflection of the utopian philosophies that drove his more grandiose band projects.
