Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded partially at Pet Sounds Studio in Denver, the Elephant 6 collective stalwarts significantly bumped up their fidelity for their sunny sophomore album. The record is a pristine, joyously orchestrated love letter to 1960s Beach Boys and Beatles-esque melodicism, saturated in fuzz pedals and triumphant vocal harmonies.

Genres

Descriptors: melodic, lo-fi, experimental, reverb-heavy, fuzz
