Sacramento, California -- June 18, 2014 -- Rcaen Saga released its first full length album, Paradise is California, on June 12, 2014. In addition to remixes of the four songs on Rcaen Saga's EP eight more tunes bring the track total to 12, providing the listener with over 55 minutes of music. Influenced by Grand Funk, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Santana, Paradise is California uses dramatic hooks, riveting tales, soaring arrangements, and hard rocking grooves flavored with a little country, funk, salsa, and other spice to rock and entertain the listener from start to finish in a style Rcaen Saga calls, "California hard country rock".

The title track, "Paradise is California", swings into action with a comparison of the legend of California, found in Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo's 1510 novel "Las sergas de Esplandián", with the reality of the Golden State. "Now and Forever After" boogies through a romantic, out of this world, and time adventure while swinging "It's Thanksgiving" tracks Thanksgiving's origin, difficult path, and what it's all about. Salsa flavored "You Make Me Want" swells and surges with a seafarer's desire before straight up "Far Away from Home" immortalizes Paul Hellstrom Foster (San Mateo, California), his heroic actions, and ultimate sacrifice for freedom, justice, and the lives of others in the war torn jungle of Vietnam. "I'm the One" makes a Latin flavored appeal for lovers to follow their heart, not the opinions of others then, "Outlaws and Pirates" grooves its way to another victory for freedom and justice. Rio inspired "Pleasure" honors all those who lived life their way just before the funky, romantic adventure in "Jungle's Wild Side". After two saxes retell "You Make Me Want", reggae infused "Make a Difference" recounts James Livingston's (Towns, Georgia) courageous struggle to defend freedom, justice, and the lives of others in the battle ravaged hamlets of Dai Do and Dinh To, Vietnam. Finally, "Star Spangled Banner" wraps the listener in an epic, hard boogying definitive anthem for freedom and justice.
