Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a radiant cornerstone of the Los Angeles Paisley Underground scene, this debut full-length bursts with intensely sweet, meticulously crafted 1960s pop pastiches. 'Sixteen Tambourines' is saturated with jangling Rickenbacker guitars, vintage Vox organs, and soaring, impeccably bright vocal harmonies. The infectious, hyper-melodic energy of the record profoundly influenced the developing international indie pop and neo-psychedelic rock movements.
