“An interstellar ride with one of the most exquisite psychedelic rock goddesses around! Tipping a hat to The Doors, but not only that, flipping it up into the air and catching it as a different hat and looking damn good in it, moments of intimate 5th dimension genius, then taken down to the roots of rock ’n bluesy soul to lift the hearts and feet in order to kick down those doors of perception!” – Pete Maguire, Evolution 2016
