The Critters - Awake in A Dream (1968)

New Jersey sunshine pop? Their best known song was the sublime Mr. Dieingly Sad, but here’s another good one. This tune is clearly very influenced by Brian Wilson’s more adventurous tracks - as I read somewhere, like they listened to Good Vibrations on repeat for several days.
