The Summer Wardrobe - Cajun Prairie Fire Schysst rock från Texas. Låten finns på deras album som har samma namn som låten!
While bands like the Black Angels and Horse + Donkey dig Austin’s psych roots with dark, droning intent, the Summer Wardrobe ride the legacy of the 13th Floor Elevators with a sun-drenched, pop and country inflected psychedelia.
