Cut in 1968, this is the sound of a Los Angeles quartet pushing pop into stranger light. Recorded in Fort Worth but wired to West Coast circuitry, the record catches a young band's psychedelic experiments just before guitarist Tony Peluso moved into the national spotlight with the Carpenters. This album, their first for Pompeii, is perhaps their most mature recording. In it, they describe many of the facets of a young adult's life in their day. From somber pessimism to the exciting high that comes with a sharply disciplined music background, these young men brought their creativity and talents together to form one of the most unusual and interesting groups of their time.
