Meg Baird, former Espers singer and drummer, is joined by some fine SF Bay Area musicians, Ethan Miller on bass, and Noel Von Harmonson and Charlie Saufley, both on guitars. The release is haunted by the ghost of SF psych, and bewitchingly so, with Meg’s ethereal vocals spinning out and over the thickly reverb-y and controlled feedback of the two guitarists. This may sound like it won’t make sense together, but it does.
