This EP was part of the "Bandcamp no-fee package" I've purchased on May 1st, 2020. This stunning work reminds me a bit of another interesting "generation project", created by Damon Shulman, which features his father and "Gentle Giant" co-founder Phil Shulman narrating some funny stuff, embedded in his own music. Gavin Castleton's songwriting is superb once again, sometimes getting real close to Brian Wilson's best classics. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
