Album Notes & Community Reviews

A major stylistic leap for the band, this release is notably distinguished by the introduction of the sitar to western pop music. Paired with a waltz-time acoustic guitar arrangement and introspective, vaguely narrative lyrics, it significantly broadened the sonic and thematic vocabulary of 1960s rock.
