The 13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators

I love them because they were very innovative. They mic'd up kettles, and that sort of thing. They had kettles boiling etc, and they were also very dire, deeply psychedelic. They mic'd up things around the kitchen. They are amazing. The music’s very beautiful.
