The second album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This band has so far released three albums... the newest one just a couple of months ago. I got that album up for review later this month.
I reviewed their debut album back in November 2020 for # 2 of this blog. It is a fairly good album.
The band is lead and inspired by the keyboards player Julian Savarin from the Domonican Republic which is the neigbouring island of Cuba. Hence some confusions about the name of this entity as it is called both Julian's Treatment and Julian Jay Severin.
The music on this thirty-five minutes long album is a mix of psych rock, hard blues, beat and symphonic prog. The sound is the 1970s early symphonic prog sound.
There is a lot of heavy keyboards and guitars here. The star of the album is Jo Meek (the sister of Anna Meek in Catapilla) whose vocals is pretty similar and almost on par with Annie Haslam's vocals. They are also pretty similar too.
The music here is pretty playful and it also has some pastoral pieces too where the vocals comes to the front of the mix.
The result is a good album from a band who deserve a lot more attention and respect. This is indeed an album both psych rock and symphonic prog fans must check out.
