Our Take

Ah, the Small Faces's Ogdens Nut Gone Flake, a true masterpiece of psychedelic whimsy and quintessentially British eccentricity. From the moment you lay eyes on the whimsical album cover featuring a giant circular tin of tobacco, you know you're in for a wild ride.

The album opens with the rollicking "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake," a jangly, infectious track that sets the tone for the album's playful, unpredictable vibe. As the songs progress, you're treated to a kaleidoscope of sounds and styles, from the soulful crooning of "Afterglow" to the jaunty, piano-driven "Rene."

But the real highlight of Ogdens Nut Gone Flake is the second side, a whimsical fairy tale narrated by the legendary Stanley Unwin. Unwin's nonsensical storytelling adds a dash of surreal elegance to the album, pulling you further into the Small Faces's whimsical world.

Throughout Ogdens Nut Gone Flake, the Small Faces demonstrate their impeccable musicianship and knack for blending genres with ease. From psychedelic rock to soulful ballads, they effortlessly navigate a myriad of styles, keeping you on your toes with every track.

In conclusion, Ogdens Nut Gone Flake is a true gem of British psychedelia, a testament to the Small Faces's boundless creativity and unique vision. So sit back, light up your pipe, and let yourself get lost in the Nut Gone Flake - you won't regret it.

About the artist

Small Faces

The Small Faces may have been small in stature, but their impact on the British music scene was monumental. Hailing from the bustling streets of London in the swinging sixties, this mod-influenced rock band quickly rose to fame with their infectious melodies and energetic live performances. Fronted by the dynamic duo of Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, the Small Faces were known for their captivating stage presence and catchy tunes that had audiences dancing in the aisles. With hits like "Itchycoo Park" and "All or Nothing", it's no wonder they are still revered by music fans around the world. But it wasn't just their music that set them apart, it was their swagger and style that truly made them stand out from the crowd. From their sharp suits to their perfectly coiffed hair, the Small Faces were the epitome of cool in an era defined by rebellion and experimentation. Despite their success, the band faced their fair share of challenges, with lineup changes and internal tensions threatening to derail their career. But through it all, the Small Faces remained true to their roots and continued to push the boundaries of rock music. Sadly, the band's time together was short-lived, with Marriott leaving to form Humble Pie and Lane pursuing a solo career. However, their legacy lives on, with their music still being celebrated and admired by new generations of music lovers. So raise a glass to the Small Faces, a band that may have been small in name, but whose impact on British music will always be larger than life.
