Secret Treaties

Released

Not the one with the ubiquitous hit, but these Long Islanders’ tantalizingly enigmatic manifesto remains their most compelling. You don’t really need to know about producer Sandy Pearlman’s bizarre sci-fi mythos involving underwater cults, mysteriously appearing radios, and the space god Imaginos to appreciate the evocative imagery and post-blues classic rock riffs used to bring said mysteries to life. “Astronomy” remains one of the most achingly gorgeous songs to come out of the 1970s.
