Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from Oregon, this high school-aged ensemble blended gentle psychedelic pop with sincere, Christian-themed lyricism to create a surprisingly cohesive underground record. Driven by prominent organ melodies and fuzzy guitar leads, the recording eschews heavy aggression for an atmospheric, introspective warmth. Privately pressed in a microscopic run, it is widely revered as a foundational masterpiece of the Xian psych subgenre.
