Rain Parade 'Crashing Dream'


Rain Parade 'Crashing Dream'

Rain Parade's a cool psychedelic college rock band from L.A. that was active in the 80s. A guitarist on their earlier material, David Roback, went on to become half of Mazzy Star. This 1985 Island Records LP is their third, and was my recent introduction to them. I really enjoy their sparse but effective use of keyboard, and that late-80s/90s college-rock vibe. This is another thrift store find. I've since purchased their Beyond the Sunset album as well. My favorites here: 'Depending on You,' 'Mystic Green,' and 'Fertile Crescent,' but they're all good.
