Rainsticks’ new album ‘Elkmont’ brings back the pop sound of ’60s and ’70s

The other day I was listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash, and wondered what they’d sound like if the trio were on the scene today. Lo and behold, today I stumbled upon the indie/psych/pop group Rainsticks on Bandcamp. Fronted by Asher Horton, not only does the band bring back the best of old-school pop, using the same layers of vocal harmonies and basic instruments as the Beatles and the Beach Boys, but there’s also a hint of psychedelia. This album is one to listen to from front to back, preferably through a stereo, on a Sunday. The music will wash over you like the afternoon sun. –Geena Kloeppel
