 "A pity, because the final ‘Better Days (Wool’s Grown Lighter)’ and especially the psychedelic ‘Turn This Love’ hinted at something better."

 "The album flows smoothly but without particular jolts, partly due to Doug’s monotonous timbre, partly due to uniform songs in structure and sound."

Doug Tuttle's solo debut follows the psychedelic style of his former band MMOSS and pays tribute to 1960s Californian and UK acid freakbeat sounds. While the album smoothly flows with consistent quality, its uniformity and Doug's monotonous vocal tone make it feel somewhat predictable. Highlights like "Better Days (Wool’s Grown Lighter)" and "Turn This Love" suggest creative potential that remains under-explored. Overall, it's a well-crafted but safe homage to classic psychedelia. Dive into Doug Tuttle's psychedelic sounds and explore a nostalgic trip to classic ‘60s rock vibes today!
