I was tripping on some fresh picked mushrooms a couple of years ago and was extremely fortunate to have two psychedelic rock songs come on the radio:
The Babe Rainbow – Secret Enchanted Broccoli Forest
Foxygen – We are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic
This was just so amazing for me. A true musical re-awakening. I loved that gnarly, cutting edge feeling that psych rock gave me. Since then I’ve spent a decent amount of time and money searching for more trippy, gnarly music. I’m more of an album guy, though, so here’s the best picks from my collection thus far (it’s a long list but it wouldn’t feel right to leave any out):
Thee Oh Sees – Floating Coffin, Putrifiers II, Castlemania, etc.
Pond – Man it Feels Like Space Again, Beard Wives Denim
Wand – Golem, 1000 Days
Unknown Mortal Orchestra – I & II
White Fence – Is Growing Faith, S/T, For the Recently Found Innocent, Cyclops Reap
Brian Jonestown Massacre – Thank God for Mental Illness, Take it from the Man
Pink Floyd – Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Ty Segall – Twins, Manipulator, Goodbye Bread, Hair, etc.
Salvia Plath – The Bardo Story
Jacco Gardiner – Hypnophobia
Creeping Pink – Mirror Woods
Temples – Sun Structures
Panda Bear – Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper (not rock but awesome)
Tame Impala – Innerspeaker, Lonerism
Wampire – Curiosity
The Stepkids – S/T
The Beatles – Sgt Pepper’s, Magical Mystery Tour
Damaged Bug – Hot Cold Plumbs
Dungen – Ta Det Lungt, Tio Bitar
Foxygen – We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Space and Magic
H. Hawkline – In the Pink of Condition
Jagwar Ma – Howlin’
Melody’s Echo Chamber – S/T
Jackson Scott – Melbourne
MGMT – Congratulations, S/T
The Horrors – Primary Colours
Morgan Delt – S/T
The Smoking Trees – TST
Butthole Surfers – Locust Abortion Technician
Burnt Ones – Gift
Opossom – Electric Hawaii
That was fun. Enjoy, or don’t
