Album Notes

The follow-up BLACK FOLIAGE ups the ante by successfully merging those two elements. Thus, we have swirling, REVOLVER-ish songcraft seamlessly meshed with all manner of musical arcana and effects. BLACK FOLIAGE is notable both for OTC's pop mastery and for the group's skill at sound manipulation. It's a landmark of modern psychedelia and arguably the SGT. PEPPER of the Elephant 6 universe.
