After the jazzier experiments on Waterloo Lily, Caravan returned with their most inspired recording since In the Land of the Grey and Pink.
For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night is several steps ahead in terms of fresh musical ideas that wholly incorporate the band's trademark humour within the otherwise serious and challenging sonic structures.
Two of the more dominant reasons for the change in Caravan's sound were the return of keyboardist Dave Sinclair and the addition of violist Peter Geoffrey Richardson, making For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night among Caravan's watershed moments.
There are perhaps none better than the mesmerising counterpoint melodies he weaves during the "L'Auberge Du Sanglier" suite. While not completely abandoning their jazz leanings, For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night is considerably focused back into the rock genre.
Ironically, the album also features some rather elaborate orchestration. In context, it is quite effective in creating emphasis -- especially on the leadoff track "Memory Lain, Hugh," as well as the dreamy mid-tempo "The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again."
One of Caravan's finest achievements
