Rain Parade - This Can't Be Today


[1983]
Peak PAISLEY underground. 

Tripped out fuzz, jangles, cosmic bass, swirly sideshow alley organ, narcotic electro hand claps, Kendra Smith on backing vocals all reverb-ed to the hilt for maximum daydream haze-y buzz. 

The druggiest neo-psych.

Every coupla years I put on Emergency Third Rail Power Trip and go hang on... isn't this one of the greatest records of all time? and not just in the dreamy jangly psych field? Why doesn't this show up in the retarded lists and cannons? 


[1983]
1 Hour 1/2 Ago
Wait for the 1:05 moment. That could be peak abstract jangle Church Wilson-Piper/Koppes guitar shenanigans.


[1983]
I look Around
Who's ever heard so many Byrdsian jangles then incredible backwards guitar stylings outside of a classic 80s Church tune? Here they were the contemporaneous Rain Parade before guitarist Dave Roback went on to form the sublime Opal and 90s legends Mazzy Star

Na na na nannana
