Release Notes:
--------
Cajun Prairie Fire is the new full-length release from Austin-based Southern
Dream Pop quartet the Summer Wardrobe. The album is the follow up to their
highly acclaimed self-titled 2006 release for Rainbow Quartz. Having recently
completed a tenure as psychedelic legend Roky Ericksons backing band (including
NY, LA, and SF appearances and an Austin City Limits taping with Erickson), the
disc is darker and denser than their previous work, a pseudo-concept sci-fi ride
that zig-zags the underbelly of a South and Southwest sometime in the not-too
distant future and past, by turns. The lyrical imagery, tinged with the
fantastic of Castaneda and the paranoid decadence of Burroughs, is perfectly
complimented by Jon Sanchezs lilting yet elegant delivery and the groups
hypnotic, guitar laden musical assemblage. Rounded out by the dynamic production
of Mark Addison (Ian Moore, Curt Kirkwood, Will Sexton) and inclusion of the
T-Rex informed cover of Erickson's Mine,Mine, Mind, Cajun Prairie Fire possesses
a classic feel that will appeal to fans of disparate groups including Pink
Floyd, Supergrass, the Gun Club and the Byrds.
