Cunning Stunts

Caravan

Polished 1975 Canterbury prog featuring an eighteen-minute suite. Warm synthesizers, playful wordplay, and a uniquely English blend of jazz-fusion and pop.

It's like a very clever, very British garden party that accidentally turns into a jazz-fusion jam session.

A bright, intellectually playful journey through pastoral landscapes and jazz-inflected daydreams.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The grand, theatrical opening of track 1 where the synth swells mimic a rising stage curtain.
The seamless transition into the frantic, jazz-inflected instrumental sections of the eighteen-minute suite.
The way the fuzzed-out viola provides a gritty counterpoint to the otherwise polite vocal melodies.
