Shaun Harris :: S/T (1973)

After the tumultuous departure of legendary cult outfit The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, the eponymous 1973 folk rock offering from Shaun Harris is a gem best reserved for those with a penchant for sadness presented through a jagged, downright sunny orchestral filter. An oddity on several fronts, the startling and heavy introspective themes clash with symphonic, brimming sunshine pop arrangements. Like a true early seventies west LA studio project, the sessions feature Wrecking Crew heavy hitters like Carole Kay and Larry Knechtel, with Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys even contributing backing vocals.
