about

A swirling psychedelic composition with flute, vibraphones and organ. What Goes Down is an exploration of timbres and grooves, capturing the live sound of the group recording in The Croatian American church in Anacortes, WA, where friends housed a recording studio.

The recording crescendos with flutes and guitars deliberately packed with saturated tape sounds that resonate with Forest Ray's creative work and all analog aesthetic up to this point.
The band continues to follow in the footsteps of Northwestern garage rock greats like The Sonics and The Kingsmen while bringing outside influences and new elements to the familiar garage sound.
