Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite failing commercially upon release, this London ensemble crafted an absolute holy grail of heavily phased, distinctly British psychedelia. Their eponymous debut is remarkably melodic and wonderfully playful, blending deeply hypnotic, fuzz-drenched acid rock guitars with highly surreal, brilliantly warm summer pop harmonies.

Genres

Descriptors: melodic, drugs, fuzz, effects-laden, experimental
