I love the mix of sounds here. Overall the main things are 1960s and 1970s pop rock, with a heavy infusion of The Beatles. Of course, 1960s and 1970s pop rock had a heavy infusion of The Beatles. This is in some ways a one person project. That person is Mike Parenti. He wrote most of the songs and plays guitar, synthesizer, ebow and sings. The whole project was put together by him. On the other hand, it is also a three person project because he’s joined by Stewart Wenig (vocals, bass and lead guitar) and Stefano Leone (drums). However it’s configured, though, this is an impressive collection of songs.

Psychedelia and progressive rock seem to merge on this cool rocker. It’s got some great sounds. There is definitely a real 1960s kind of vibe to this.

The same blend of sounds is on display on this number. It really has a 1960s sound to it. It makes me think of Wings quite a bit, but also Klaatu in some says.

This dreamy pop rocker is very Beatles-like. It’s got some great vocal hooks and feels a lot like it would have fit on the radio in the early 1970s.

Although this is very much set in the same kind of retro textures as the rest, it manages to feel more modern at the same time. This is more of a ballad, too.
