Editing Surrealistic Pillow (section)

=== Music and style ===

With Jorma Kaukonen's sinewy guitar, Jack Casady's probing bass, and Spencer Dryden's inventive drumming swirling around Slick and co-vocalists Marty Balin and Paul Kantner on songs like "She Has Funny Cars" and "3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds", ''Surrealistic Pillow'' virtually defined the communal spirit of Summer of Love hippiedom. 

Marty Balin lends vulnerable lead vocals to the medieval folk twinges of "Comin' Back to Me" and the Mamas & the Papas-esque "How Do You Feel", and "Embryonic Journey" shows off the fluid fingerpicking of future [[Hot Tuna]] guitarist Jorma Kaukonen. 

"Today" was not released as a single but was played often on college radio and rock stations and remains one of the band's most popular songs.  The track features achingly pretty lyrics and an intriguing use of ambience  that set it apart from the album's more propulsive rock material.
