Album Notes & Community Reviews

A highly sophisticated reimagining of a traditional Bahamian folk song, heavily filtered through Brian Wilson's orchestral pop sensibilities. The dense, interlocking vocal harmonies and a remarkably complex rhythm track featuring glockenspiels and a booming double-bass perfectly previewed the band's impending experimental zenith.
