MOON AND TIDE
The straight garage rock thrust of the opening track on Inside Out Your Mind, “Siren City” leads into the psychedelic delicacy that is “Moon and Tide”, one of my favorite songs on the album. The title song, “Inside Out Your Mind” has such an authentic 1960’s sound that it is hard to believe it is newly written. Just when you think the Loons might have run out of tricks, the Side 1 closer “Silence” serves up a psychedelic mood that is quite a bit different from “Moon and Tide”; the song ends with a lovely, understated instrumental passage that is so rare these days, when nearly all bands keep the vocals going pretty much nonstop.
