RAIN PARADE


WILL GLENN, STEVEN ROBACK, MATTHEW PIUCCI, EDDIE KALWA, DAVID ROBACK


plus KENDRA SMITH, AMRIT, MICHAEL MURPHY



Of the bands who emerged from the West Coast Paisley Underground scene of the '80s, 


the Rain Parade were the group that paid most explicit homage to psychedelic music 


of the '60s at its most unfashionable; as punk and new wave gave way to what became 


alternative music, the Rain Parade were the first band to declare, at least musically, 


that the hippies may have been right about something after all, as their languid tempos, 


streamlined melodies, modal counterpoints, and impressionistic lyrics 


evoked a cool, graceful approximation of psychedelia

RECORD EX but (please, read above description)

 SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

Rain Parade fashioned traditional, gentle psychedelic pop on Emergency Third Rail Power Trip,

including the dreamy "What's She Done to Your Mind" and the Byrds-ish "This Can't Be Today"

 (with the Dream Syndicate's Kendra Smith). They were clearly way ahead of their time,

 and it would take years before sleepy music (à la founding Rain Parade member David Roback's Mazzy Star)

 would catch on. This record sounds no more made in the '80s than in the '60s or '90s...(AllMusic)
