Relax

Sunshine psych from Austin; big smoking pot in a park in the summer vibe going on here, but it alternates between laid back, poppy, and bombastic. Surf elements, organ, lots of effects, harmonies. Droning organs and guitars throughout make this one more interesting than your average psych release. Really good and recommended for heavy, frequent airplay. No FCCs noted
