Album Notes & Community Reviews

Helmed by multi-instrumentalist Nick Saloman, the expansive double album is a dense trip through fuzz-heavy neo-psychedelia and classic British pop songwriting. It stands as a towering achievement in the UK independent scene, demonstrating Saloman's prolific and deeply personal home-recording ethos.
