Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily promoted by their label as part of the so-called 'Bosstown Sound', the debut from this Boston outfit is a remarkably intense and sophisticated psychedelic excursion. Blending harsh garage rock elements with complex, jazz-inflected rhythms and surreal lyricism, the record attempts to manufacture an East Coast response to the San Francisco explosion.
