Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by former Beach Boy David Marks and Matthew Moore, this criminally overlooked ensemble crafted a brilliantly arranged, Beatlesque pop-rock LP. The intricately orchestrated tracks merge soaring, pristine vocal harmonies with subtle psychedelic elements and sophisticated baroque pop production. Despite its undeniable commercial potential and immaculate craftsmanship, the record fell victim to poor promotion and quickly vanished.
