Another great Rainbow Quartz release, this time they stretch their vision a
bit, still firmly grounded on post-psych-cum-power pop jangle but mixing in
lots of moody-ish Beachwood Sparks-ish landscapes, a few of which are
extended jam-outs, pushing 7 minutes+, pairing steel guitar with meandering
tempos. While the band has been compared to bands such as Pink Floyd, the
Church, Mercury Rev and Luna, the Summer Wardrobe has its own unique sound
that draws from a diverse panoply of influences, call it Cosmic Americana
Pop! We like that! We`d add some Rain Parade, Good Earth-era Feelies, Tom
Petty, and pop underground heroes Cotton Mather in a few spots. A
fascinating journey in every moment and really pushes the boundries of
every-day pop to new views on the mushroomed mountaintop! The Summer
Wardrobe speaks volumes in its special brand of jangle minimalism, drawing
you into a world of psych-pop and cosmic-americana charms. Sharp as a tack,
well-crafted and emotionally resonant, The Summer Wardrobe, provided you
live inside its world, stays with you long after the last song has played.
Not for everyone, possibly, but still very, very highly recommended!
