Reception [link]

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and stated "it's a wildly textured and seamless aural meld of gritty B-3 jams, smooth yet psychedelic soul, rock, pop, and funk... somehow, this ambitious, lushly orchestrated album not only sounds current, but still ahead of its time. Highly recommended".[2]

Set Us Free

by: Beckett

Hold on with an iron will,
Do all that you can to,
Hold onto the steering wheel,
I’ve seen it, I know that,
The crash it is coming soon,
You can borrow the sun,
But please don’t steal the moon.
They say the good will come out,
Light the sky up,
Those angels are coming down,
To set us free,
Love will save us,
But cupid’s dangerous,
Those angels are coming down,
To set us free.
The secrets they lay underground,
The mad man he listens for hours,
But without a sound,
I know that he’s sane,
It’s just something you can not assume,
You can borrow her body,
