Come on! Get Free! We Pour Light On Everything!

Psychedelic music is making a comeback. In a world of lockstep thinking and a speed of life too rapid for any kind of mental growth, groups of dedicated psychonauts all over the world are spreading the seed of expansion in the ear-holes of all who will listen. These records are the ones who stood out to me, in no particular order. 

 The Gonzo- Esoteric EP

Mixing psychedelia, Disco, Funk, and techno, The Gonzo, helmed by Chris Drew and Ben Wayne, is a good-vibes musical journey from another world. Infinitely danceable and approachable, yet doubtlesly psychoactive, it's an interesting listen. Jam it if you want to dance.

 Lesbian- Forestelivision 

Alright, this is progressive doom metal, but it is so rooted in psychedelic music I can't help but include it. It's bone crushingly heavy but, I swear, if you listen to this enough, preferably in the forest, you will feel the earth move.

The Venus Extraction- FOUR

Bad-trip, dirtbag freak-folk from a Mr. Jeffrey Cambell. Criminally underrated and totally creepy. Buy all their records.

 Copkiller- Alien Soccer

Psychedelic, beat-heavy noise from the productive mind of Justin Marc Lloyd, there's a sense of humor to this tape that isn't normally present in avant-garde music. Almost Death-Grips esque.

 Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats- Blood Lust

A modern classic of retro, psychedelic proto-metal. This is the underbelly of psychedelic expression, The overdoes, the arrest, the murder.

 Katje Janisch- Dulce Muse

An etheral effort by this psychedelic neo-folk artist. Transcendent, beautiful tones.

 Fuzzphorous- Dare! You fuzzy basterds

Psych desert rock that fucks your sister. From France of all places. Crushing bass, soul-kicking groove. What more do you need?

 The Boo Jays- MIXTAPE II

Dark, organ based, classic psych rock. Think The Doors fronted by Glenn Danzig. Absorbing stuff.

 The Brian Jonestown Massacre- Revelation

The latest record ejaculated from the fertile mind of Anton Newcombe, Revelation is a lush, eastern-influenced piece of psych rock. I can't imagine anyone listening to this album and not wanting to change everything.

Acid Mothers Temple- The Ultimate Dream Cloister

Probably the most dedicated mind-discoverers of all time, Japan's Acid Mothers Temple have put out over 100 albums since 1995. This album, their latest, is breathtaking. A long form, ambient-inspired piece of music, it simply demands to be heard.
