Miraculous Hump Returns From The Moon: White Numbered Vinyl LP

Label: Music on Vinyl
Release Date: 10th February

Who is to say what is 'overlooked' or not? Like what is over/underrated it's the catalyst for boring debate but Sopwith Camel are a psych rock, jazz rock, krautrock and also sweet west coast folk band from 60s-70s San Francisco that deserve more ears. It's an accessible psych with elements of Crosby's after-a-smoke childlike wonder but also smokey flutes wit an element of grandeur with strings and krautrock jams.
