Hang

A maximalist, 40-piece orchestral rock odyssey. Recorded live to tape, it channels the high-drama glam of the 1970s with lush, cinematic precision.

It sounds like a 1970s rock star was given a full orchestra and told to make a Broadway musical about Los Angeles.

A grandiose, technicolor celebration of 1970s studio excess and theatrical rock ambition.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive brass fanfare that opens Follow the Leader, signaling a massive departure from their lo-fi roots.

The sweeping, cinematic orchestral swell in America that feels like a lost 1970s film score.

The way the piano and strings intertwine on On Lankershim to create a perfect, sun-drenched California pop moment.
