Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite securing a major US release, this highly eccentric British songwriter's sole solo album fell into complete commercial obscurity.[cite: 1] The meticulously produced tracks offer a wildly eclectic, lushly orchestrated blend of whimsical baroque pop and gentle psychedelic folk, notably featuring future Led Zeppelin member Jack Davies.[cite: 1] It is currently prized as a stunning, heavily orchestrated lost gem of the UK psych-pop era.[cite: 1]
