Album Notes & Community Reviews

Leaning deeply into environmental and social themes, the group's third album utilizes Moog synthesizers to drive a muscular, blues-inflected brand of progressive rock. The title track, originally penned by Mike Hugg, features an extended, blistering synthesizer solo that firmly established the keyboardist's virtuosic, forward-thinking approach to rock instrumentation.
