Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spearheaded by the legendary studio visionary Curt Boettcher alongside Gary Usher, Sagittarius released an absolute hidden gem of complex, harmony-driven pop. 'Present Tense' is remarkably lush and intensely melodic, matching beautifully ethereal, deeply peaceful sunshine pop with heavily orchestrated, surprisingly surreal psychedelic baroque arrangements.
