Where this album fits

Career context
The Electric Prunes were at a pivotal moment in their career when 'Release of an Oath' was released in January 1968. This was their third studio album, following the commercially successful 'Underground' from 1967, and it marked a significant shift towards more experimental and spiritually-infused music. The band sought to expand their artistic vision beyond mainstream psychedelia, which was reflected in this ambitious project.
