Apologies to Jennifer Z. (no relation) for procrastinating her suggestion until now. Why do today what can wait until tomorrow is the motto I too often live by. Better late than never. Jennifer notes, "They kind of have a Jesus and Mary Chain meets Guided By Voices thing going. Very catchy stuff!" I'll date myself and add to that that it reminds me of Rain Parade — a band I distinctly remember jamming out to while doing inventory all night at Music Plus. I got pulled over on the way home, and upon seeing my bloodshot eyes, the police officer asked me to step out of the car and asked me what I had been smoking. I finally convinced him that I was sober, and any high that I might have experienced that night was due to a lack of sleep and the chilled, psychedelic rock of Rain Parade. The Layaways sound as if they've been taking hits off the same pipe.
