Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fusing the eccentricities of the Canterbury Scene with intensely energetic, surprisingly aggressive acoustic folk-rock, Spirogyra's debut is a brilliant, wildly dramatic wyrd-folk classic. 'St. Radigunds' is remarkably progressive and wonderfully atmospheric, driving fiercely melodic, beautifully psychedelic arrangements with deeply passionate, delightfully manic vocal performances.
