Album Notes & Community Reviews

An American group deeply enamored with the whimsical and complex sounds of the British progressive underground, 'Calling' serves as a vibrant homage to the Canterbury Scene[cite: 1]. The album blends intricate jazz-fusion arrangements with quirky, theatrical vocal deliveries and shifting time signatures. It is an intricate, joyful oddity released well after the genre's commercial peak.
