Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Dave Mason of Traffic, Family's debut album is a wildly inventive, profoundly eccentric cornerstone of the burgeoning progressive rock movement. 'Music in a Doll's House' is incredibly dense and fiercely eclectic, matching wonderfully quirky, highly melodic psychedelic rock with deeply passionate vocals and delightfully abstract orchestration.
