Quicksilver Messenger Service

A hibiscus haze in Hawaii, where San Francisco psychedelia meets campground campfire soul.

Fourth album, released August 1970. With the return of Dino Valenti (aka Jesse Oris Farrow) and Gary Duncan, QMS transitions from sprawling jazzy jams to song‑driven, traditional rock infused with warm psychedelia and mellow funk.

Play it driving—with the windows down in a sun‑soaked countryside, or late at night around a fire. Let its occasional sloppiness breathe. It doesn’t chase perfection—it lays down in the grass, yawns, and simply is.
