"Canterbury Scene psychedelic-prog heads unite—San Francisco’s Magic Fig is here to pour a nice, relaxing, odyssey-driven cup of their debut Valerian Tea. Magic Fig is a stacked lineup featuring Inna Showalter (vocals/mellotron), Jon Chaney (keys), Muzzy Moskowitz (guitar), Matthew Ferrara (bass), and Taylor Giffin (drums) - names you’ll recognize from The Umbrellas, Healing Potpourri, Almond Joy, Whitney’s Playland, and Blades of Joy.

Valerian Tea takes comfort in its influences but doesn’t feel like a direct rip-off. In fact, thanks to the production of Joel Robinow (Strangeworld favourites, the Once and Future Band), the album lands like a UFO in pastoral England.

You can’t get away without referencing the Canterbury Scene, a kaleidoscopic blend of jazz, rock, and psychedelia from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The album darts between calming church organ and cosmic guitars that seem to battle for the fate of the universe. It plays like Alice in Wonderland, but instead of simply falling down the rabbit hole, you oscillate between that and a black hole." - The Fire Note

RIYL: Soft Machine, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, David Bowie.
