Food For Thought

Food: Forever is a Dream and Leaves
From Forever is a Dream [Capitol, 1969]

Food was a band from Chicago who's only release was this 1969 album of somber psychedelic tunes, which is quite ironic given how cheerful they all look on the cover. There's not a lot to be said about these guys since there's not a lot of information out there, but the music speaks for itself. As melancholic as their music is, both lyrically and aurally, there's definitely something beautiful and optimistic about their sound. Both the title track and "Leaves" are sonically profound, carefully orchestrated and arranged to provide music capable of enduring nearly fifty years of aging.
