"Last Rays of a Dying Sun" is loyal to the hypnotic stylings and hook-filled melodies for which the band is known. Rain Parade makes a soundscape that takes you on a journey through time and space, with songs ranging from spacey folk to raging psych rock.
Their new album, Sideways, is a meditation on resilience and survival. Trent Wagler, the band's lead singer and primary songwriter, penned many of the songs in response to loss, and the uncertainty that comes with facing what we can't control.
