13th Floor Elevators 'Street Song'
Disorientating, fuzzed-out rock from one of the original psychedelic bands of the West Coast scene. Primal Scream covered the 13th's song 'Slip Inside This House' on the seminal 'Screamadelica' album, whilst other bands as diverse as Spacemen 3 and ZZ Top have acknowledged the Elevators' influence. This tune is a mumbling, wrangling lick-fest topped with lyrics about escaping to the country (or something like that) all wrapped up in a metallic cloud of reverb and general garage juice. Unleash the freaks.
