Let me lay it on you, my dudes. These guys were a standard white boy British R&B band and had a few hits but nothing earth-shaking. So in 1967, without a record contract they go into a studio they either rented or borrowed but there, in the space of just a couple months came out with this totally psyche pop masterpiece. And, get this, these are just supposed to be the demos so the can get a contract and record the real versions of these songs. Anyway, none other than George Freaking Martin is interested in producing them. Unfortunately he just produced one song and things went south and there was no contract, so the band headed their separate ways. Ok, so time goes on and in the 90s these demo tapes are found somewhere no doubt dustly with lots of cobwebs. Well, they listened to them and said, "Oooo Doggy! These need to be for sale!" So 2 (two) record companies released these tapes. The legal stuff has been fixed by now but you need to listen to the CD! It's amazing. It sounds simultaneously of its time yet completely timeless.
The whole album is a treat but if I had to suggest a few to check out to see if you dig it, I'd say pop your earbuds in and groove to "Come Inside", "Icarus", "Things You Cannot See", "Brain" and ,"Look At The View". Can't go wrong with anything on the album if you like 60s British garage psyche. Happy listenings!
