Album Notes & Community Reviews

Created under tragic circumstances, 'Save for a Rainy Day' was largely produced and assembled by Jan Berry during his difficult recovery from a near-fatal car crash, without Dean Torrence's initial participation. The album is a conceptual marvel of rain-themed sunshine and baroque pop, featuring lush orchestrations and intricate vocal layering. Though initially pulled from distribution, it has since achieved massive cult status as a lost psychedelic-pop masterpiece.
