Notes

Super rare US psych garage from 1970 that's eerie, dreamy and atmospheric. Pounding bass and fuzz guitar back up softly melodic vocals whilst the bands songs are filled with a sense of dreamy despair. There's also the odd strange sound effect.
Originally released by Hoot in 1970. Psychedelic rock band hailing from Salem, Oregon. The album is full of fuzz guitars & 'acid' organ sounds but with a few nice soft rock ballads. Original artwork.

Salem, Oregon was home turf for this soft rock quintet whose rare album has been reissued. The opening cut New Dawn begins with an unusual spoken intro but is essentially a soft rock ballad; I See A Day has some good fuzz guitar and Its Rainin' couples this with sound effects; there's some upfront organ on Hear Me Cryin' and Side One closes with Dark Thoughts, a more uptempo song with lots of fuzz guitar.
