Barabajagal

Donovan

A kaleidoscopic blend of heavy psychedelic rock and gentle nursery-rhyme folk. Warm, eccentric, and anchored by surprisingly muscular guitar work.

August 11, 1969 · The state51 Conspiracy

Find on Amazon

A sun-drenched collection of mythic tales and playful observations anchored by a surprisingly sturdy rock heartbeat.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the hushed, spoken-word history of a lost continent into the soaring, orchestral climax of Atlantis.
The surprisingly heavy, blues-inflected guitar crunch of the Jeff Beck Group anchoring the otherwise whimsical title track.
The hypnotic, interlocking vocal rounds on Happiness Runs that create a dizzying sense of communal joy.
