The Perfect Trip's third album covers 13 songs of musical acts from the past 100 years. A sound that is parbaked in a "sitting on a cornflake" type psychedelia with light and poppy, kaleidoscopic melodies. It grabs from other types of psychedelia, from other decades, too; in the most non-committal sense. There's more than the typical rock band set-up: harpsichord, sitar, recordings of bombs splattering populations of varying sizes, and orchestral strings, just to name a few. Each track poses a different level of both sobriety and/or intoxication; at times they embrace fairly precise chamber parts sounding like a teenage David Ackles after a huff of Elmers, and at other times they yearn to be wide-open and free-flowing, in a similar jamboree spirit to Beach Boys' Party! If you imagine a house band for The Prisoner, gleefully playing off in the distance as Patrick McGoohan spends his hours scheming an escape from the huge white balloon, you might be halfway there. Tune in to The Perfect Trip covering the greats, featuring the Jane Doe Orchestra. All of the songs covered were released on the 23rd day of the month.
