Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving decidedly away from their earlier, unpolished R&B roots, this incredibly sophisticated vocal group release embraces lush, highly atmospheric orchestrations and classic pop standards. The album's crown jewel, a hauntingly beautiful, deeply reverbed reinvention of 'I Only Have Eyes for You', established a completely new aesthetic standard for harmony singing. The impeccably arranged production perfectly encapsulates the ethereal, romantic pinnacle of the doo-wop era.
