This somewhat mysterious collection of L.A. players issued several albums in the late '60s that plugged into the era's psychedelic-rock scene, freakouts, and trippy lyrics without establishing a solid identity of their own. They cut a fair number of great tracks, moving without rhyme or reason from straightforward Byrds and Kinks edges to self-absorbed psychedelic pop grooves to self-conscious exercises in hippy outrageousness (including, of all things, a cover of the Mothers' "Help I'm a Rock"). The best of their output holds up extremely well.
With their impressive light show, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band became popular around Los Angeles and were signed by Reprise Records. Their first "proper" album, "Part One", ranged from anthemic psychedelia tunes and catchy, trippy laced ballads, on to harder-edged psychedelic numbers. It reflected the tensions between the band’s musicians and Markley, who effectively controlled the band’s output but who was regarded by the others as musically untalented. Markley contributed rambling psychedelic lyrics and spoken sections, and the album also included ill-assorted inputs from nominal co-producer Jimmy Bowen, songwriters Baker Knight and P.F. Sloan, drummer Hal Blaine and pianist Van Dyke Parks. Disputes between Markley and Michael Lloyd also led to the inclusion of guitarist Ron Morgan, who over time became a fully fledged member of the band.
