Food for the Mind

Zager & Evans

Speculative folk-rock and baroque pop that feels like a transmission from a doomed future. A dusty, orchestral meditation on humanity's place in the cosmos.

It's like a 1970s Twilight Zone episode turned into a folk-rock record.

A dusty, contemplative gaze at the stars through the lens of 1970s disillusionment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the hauntingly sparse arrangement of The Last Two People on Earth.
The way the orchestral swells on Hydra 15.000 mimic a rising tide of technological dread.
The jarringly brief and ghostly 36-second coda of Alice Browning that ends the album on a question mark.
