Jaye Muller and Ben Patton decided they wanted to record the greatest
theme-album ever made, having often discussed their love of Brian Wilson's
"Smile", the B-side of the Beatle's "Abbey Road" LP, Queen's "Bohemian
Rhapsody", and other uninterrupted pieces of rock music, made up of smaller
movements. We'll throw in a more recent release by The Rollo Treadway as an
example too! In the summer of 2005, Jaye demoed hundreds of lyric-less melodic
fragments, and handed it over to Ben, who added a bunch of his own melodies to
the mix, and set about the task of assembling the fragments into quasi-operatic
suites. They authored a two-act coming-of-age story about a girl named Bailey,
and Ben wove the story into enigmatic, ambiguous lyrics. Though they're rather
distinctive, clearly audible in their music are the influence of the Beatles,
Queen, Brian Wilson, David Bowie, the Zombies and other melodic and intricately
arranged pop-rock. Paying tribute to their heroes, they even mastered their
opus at Abbey Road Studios, London. "Not only the most unusual album of the
year, but one of the best!" - Nick Webb,"If you have appreciation for classical
music and theater, you will enjoy this album. It is so musically rich, there is
enough material for a dozen albums by a band with average musical talents.
Lyrics are full of humor and subtlety. nuf said. bravo, guys!" - Len Nobs "A
haunting and somewhat eccentric, but never boring album!"
