Whoever disliked this video is crazy. You help so many people find new artists and bands to enjoy.
It must be a typo
I mean people are allowed opinions
Well said.😊
Innerspeaker is the first album Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) released. Very 60s nostalgic and psychedelic, I highly recommend you check it out, hardly any of the electronic beats and music he would later start making. ✌
Thanks for another excellent video maz. Love watching them. And have bought lots of albums, thanks to your videos. Superb.
Hi Mazzy, I always look forward to all your videos. I always learn something new, and you make me appreciate music I would never have known about but for your videos. I love your zest for everything you showcase. Happiness, Cindy
Enjoyed it very much mazzy!! I always learn about bands I've never heard of from you and I appreciate that ✌️
Hey Mazzy, great list, well done! Thought I add a few things hopefully for your benefit along with your viewers.
Firstly, mentioning the late, great David Roback, the first Rain Parade album Emergency Third Rail Power trip and the Opal album Happy Nightmare Baby absolutely top psych records.
A couple of bands that appeared on the Elephant 6 label, Olivia Tremor Control 'Dusk At Cubist Castle' and 'Black Foliage' excellent psych records and their label mates Apples in Stereo with 'Tone Soul Evolution' and 'Her Wallpaper Reverie' which I'm sure you'll love.
On a more rock/ psych theme an album that I thought was simply amazing was Dead Heavens 'Whatever Witch You Are' from Walter Schreifels a guy who came out of the punk/ hardcore scene but has experimented with all kinds of music, I'm sure you'll love this one.
Love those Elephant 6 bands especially The Apples in Stereo, The Minders, and The Olivia Tremor Control.
I have been listening to you for a few months....finally subscribed. Thanks for expanding my music options and doing such a great job on these videos. This is one of of my favorites. One band that I really like that would probably fall into this category is The Dead Weather. Thanks Mazzy!
Thanks Norman for these kond of videos..Ranking as well. I really like them. Especially for psych mood trip ethereal - like albums. These bring me new inspirations...
Go on with this.
Mazzy is once again showing us his diverse love of music. 😀
I saw the Psychedelic Furs supporting Iggy in Feb 1980 here in London.
What a lucky boy I was!
Outstanding again, Norman 🎉 Wow.
Check out the album Spectral Sunshine Parade by Virginia band The Mirrors. It has echoes of The Zombies, early Pink Floyd, and 60s Kinks
Love from London GB Masssy - in your intro, I just thought - Dukes of Stratosphere - and you you went and pulled it out - wow
"I'm In Your Mind Fuzz" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is one of my favorite (psych) albums of all time. KGATLW also have an album coming out next week that is said to be melodic psych called "Butterfly 3000". Also, "Sun Structures" by Temples is amazing. Anything by The Babe Rainbow or The Murlocs. Australia is where the good psych is coming from - and Thee Oh Sees from California (by way of Rhode Island - my lil' state).
Thanks for sending me back to that Love & Rockets album. It's been in the collection since it came out but unfairly dismissed at the time, I'm getting it now.
Wow! Thanks - Sadies are great. Carrying me through a Monday morning workday. Recommend Spacemen 3 be added to your stellar list.
That Verve album you were holding up is actually A Storm In Heaven. Both those albums are incredible.
Thanks,Mazzy, I have ordered "Oblivion" by Heron on vinyl. I have seen Meg Baird twice in Glasgow and I didn't know she was in this band ! Looking forward to the album ! Cheers!
Excellent choices Mazzy so into a lot of these artists
Great recommendations. Going to listen to a few of them
From Julian Cope I would recommend Fried too. Weird and addictive album.
great video! i would have added Spacemen 3 and The Rain Parade. definitely a few titles added to my "on the hunt" list. thanks Mazzy.
Mazzy, the best Primal Scream album to check out for Psychedelia is Screamadelica. An absolute masterpiece from 1991, the artwork is amazing as well. Also have a look at Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space by Spiritualized, and Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, two of the greatest records ever made. Love the channel, keep it up!
Wow. I was wondering wether xtc get a honorable mention. And Then they Made the First Place. Wonderful. You Made our day. The Dukes of stratosphear forever! Greetings from that town Near michael. We posted that Video in facebook on All Xtc fansites we Could afford... 🤓
I enjoyed this very much. A - of course - very subjective, but also highly credible and comprehensible selection. Hats off.
I was kinda surprised you didn't mention Loop, Ride, Sun Dial, The Dandy Warhols, Polvo, Spacemen 3 or Spiritualized.
Also you should check out Yin Yin from the Netherlands, The Warlocks from Los Angeles and 10000 Russos from Portugal. Great stuff!
Cool vid. Great info.
I've been watching/listening to these best albums videos while I tend to the landscaping outside my house. I need to pull weeds this morning and boom I'm treated with another video! Thanks!
Weed and psychedelia. 🌸
Thanks Mazzy, awesome stuff. Here's another suggestion, Black Angels. From Austin Texas, in reverence of the 13th Floor Elevators, which shows from their cover art to their drone-like music. First three albums are essential, especially Passover (debut album from 2006) and Phosphene Dream. Spread the word!
My favorite video you've done so far Mazzy.... Obviously hits my age (Gen X Born 1971) perfectly. Love that you kicked it off with Dukes into XTC. Early Echo is definitely Psych... Nice call on World Party too! Damn Karl Wallinger is a beast. I am a bit surprised I didn't see any bands from the Elephant 6 Collective (Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, etc) get a mention. Anyway great video hitting my wheelhouse. Keep it up.
I made similar comment about the missing Elephant 6 bands. He should look into them for sure.
@@catsofsherman1316 Such good music came out of that collective.
Another great vid Mazzy. I would also add Prince to the list of Karl Wallinger's (World Party) influences - saw them do a storming cover of Pop Life in concert. Terrific band, and KW sprinkled gold dust over The Waterboys finest 2 albums also. Would also probably add Camper Van Beethoven's third album to your list - seriously trippy in parts, as well as a lot of the stuff they recorded with Eugene Chadbourne. Take care.
Mazzy, thank you. So i learned that i am into Psychedelic Music. I knew most of the bands and have a lot of the records myself. Most of the i Never thought as psychedelic. But watching the Video. It gave me a very nice new view of this music.
I would also mention Robyn Hitchcock. I Often Dream of Trains is sublime. Sky Cries Mary is also pretty freaking great. Thanks for mentioning Heron Oblivion, my favorite album from the last few years.
Allah-Las, The Growlers - surf-y psychedelics. The Black Angels (oh man the drone is epic), Black Mountain especially the first album. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. From the mid to late 80s garage psychedelic from Pittsburgh I think - Plasticland were pretty groovy. - So many more I could list - would have to dredge the collection but I hope you either have already or will get a chance to check some of this stuffs from off the top of my head.
Plasticland are from Milwaukee. Thanks for mentioning them. They should totally be on any psychedelia list.
Roback was a great mood setter. He shined when he was in Rain Parade, Opal, and then Mazzy.
Some great records Mazzy. Some of my favourite psych artists post-80s are Electric Moon, Electric Orange, Causa Sui, Oresund Space Collective, Sula Bassana, Black Bombaim, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, Saturnia, Colour Haze, Zone Six, Hills, Expo 70, Papir and so many others :)
I guess the one thing about psychedelia is that everyone has their own trip, that's what makes it interesting ,on a musical level anyway.
Nice video! Would also like to add: Psychic TV's Allegory & Self, Nick Nicely's output during the 80s and 90s, every Broadcast album, Wand's (Cory Hanson) first three albums and as others have mentioned; Tyrnaround - Colour your mind.
Hey, Mazzy! Love your channel. From north of the border, keep on rockin'!
Dream Syndicate’s “Days of Wine and Roses” is really good. I owned that one on cassette and hope to find it on vinyl someday.
I'm totally with you on the topic of "genres"! Seems like every time I turn around some music gets labeled another genre! Drives me crazy. I think I might simplify it all. Music I like vs don't.
enjoyed the show thanks...from what i recall, a lot of the bands back in the day could be far more psychedelic in their live performances than their studio albums...ccr being one example...another thing...the psychedelic scene made it its way up into canada from california...it was everywhere on the west coast of north america in the 60's and early 70's...that vibe still persists today to some degree...black mountain from vancouver is a recent example...
Great list, and thanks for mentioning XTC and the Dukes right off the bat. Most of these I haven't heard, so there's lots of homework (the fun kind) here for me. Have you heard the Avalanches album "Wildflower?" I think they've described it as a psychedelic road-trip through Australia. Lots of samples, but very artfully reimagined.
Great video. A little surprised Robyn Hitchcock didn't make your list, especially given your take on psychedelia and perhaps something from the shoegazer types, like Ride's Nowhere, which I've always thought very psychedelic. Overall really good and informative though. I'm with some of the youngin's on here commenting that King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and The Oh Sees could be included, but they both put albums out so fast that it's near impossible to have the time to settle on a favorite. Just a thought on a segment, seventies psychedlia-prog would be cool. I find things like Larks Toungues in Aspic by King Crimson, 801 Live, Pink Floyd's Meddle amongst the most lysergic creations of any era... Just a thought.
I really enjoy your channel, Mazzy, and this is a spiffing edition.
Going to pick you up on a few things, but please take this in the spirit of music lovers sharing info.
First off, thanks for The Sadies. They remind me of Beachwood Sparks on speed. (Not a bad thing)
They were the only band I was not familiar with.
So …
You picked up a Tame Impala record (Currents) when you were talking about Caribou.
And staying with Caribou, Our Love was mid-career, not the beginning.
Their early stuff, and Manitoba before them, were also neo-psychedelia - probably more so.
Primal Scream became increasingly psychedelic. The jangle pop of Sonic Flower Groove (and its eponymous follow up) was dwarfed by Screamadelica.
And Vanishing Point (the clue is in both the album names) went as far as was inhumanly possible.
Julian Cope’s Peggy Suicide was the first in a trilogy of psychedelic krautrock albums. Peggy Suicide, as you pointed out, is a masterpiece, but the follow up, Jehovahkill is more psychedelic, and the track listing is arranged to follow the psychedelic experience.
On that note, Fried (the clue’s in the name) is a better example of Cope’s early solo explorations than Saint Julian (also a great album). Only an opinion, granted - but the post refers specifically to neo-psychedelia, so I sense my comment is justified.
You may have left the UK before the Stone Roses swansong, Second Coming was re-appraised as a stone-cold classic.
Second Coming is now viewed as a worthy follow up. I personally (personally) think it’s better.
If you like Ripley Johnson, his band Moon Duo make lovely psychedelia.
Great call on Stereolab. For me, though, Sound Dust is probably their most psychedelic. Certainly more so than Cobra and Dots and Loops.
Nitpicking - Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval is narcotic, not psychedelic. Fantastic, sure, but not necessarily psychedelic.
Anyway, I really like your channel.
There was quite a strong psych influence on the eighties underground scene in OZ, bands like the Church had a strong psych element,also the Hoodoo Gurus, though they were more swampy rock ,the Lime Spiders, the Moffs, Tyrnaround,the Bo Weevils ,the Gas babies, the Inner sleeves, even bands like Shower scene from Psycho , and the Olympic sideburns had a bit of psych, a great era for live music here in OZ
Great video Mazzy. A few more that I'd throw into this list would be Dead Meadow, Morgan Delt, and The War on Drugs. Last but not least Khruangbin.
I do have two Khruangbin.albums. Just forgot them
Dead Meadow opened for Super Furry Animals in Austin on the surround sound tour Mazzy mentioned if my memory is correct.
Mazz all great choices !! You just turned me onto Wooden Ships and and the new Dream Syn. Thank you! Possible honorable mention to 'Express' by Love and Rockets which is tons more phych than Earth sun...I.M.O oh yeah...'Emergency Third Rail Power Trip' by The Rain Parade and 'In the Garden' by the Eurythmics. Peace out..
excellent video! Peggy Suicide is a classic! As are those Wooden Shjips albums along Dream Syndicate and Brian Jonestown Massacre and Sadies. I missed King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizzard though... and Archie Bronson Outfit.... try their album Wild Crush!
wow out of all the albums you showed, I only have the Beck and BJTM one. My favorite BJTM album is Thank God for Mental Illness and Take it from the Man! Always more to learn..Thanks for sharing..Take care
Brian Jonestown has SO MANY albums. I only have a handful but there are lots of really nice ones. Bravery, Repetition & Noise and Aufheben are a couple others I really enjoy
Lovely stuff, great that you mentioned Julian Cope who is mostly overlooked nowadays. I only have one suggestion, Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly, the vinyl is hard to find.
Loved this video Mazzy. That Heron Oblivion record is amazing. Meg Baird has an amazing voice. Wooden Shjips are great, need to get more of their stuff on vinyl. Agree with you on Tame Impala. Preferred the early psych rock stuff. They are more pop these days, although I still like it. I would also recommend a band called Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound. Very good pysch rock. Their second and third records are their best
The verve album wasn't urban hymns . That was a storm in heaven from 93 I believe. It's fantastic
Great list Mazzy. Has sent me back to Mutations for the first time in too long. Some acts I was half expecting you to include were The Soft Boys - so out of place in its Syd Barrett psych at the start of the 80s, Spacemen 3 - hugely influential on all that came since in this genre, and current, ridiculously prolific & varied acts like Thee Oh Sees/OSees/etc & Ty Segall. Interestingly, I believe Super Furry Animals’ quadrophonic system had previously belonged to Pink Floyd - at least that’s what they claimed at the time!
Enjoyed your list Massy. First Psychedelic Furs album! Lyrically, musically, atmospheric, intense. It outdoes quite a few psych albums from the 60s, in my view.I Never got further than Julian Cope's "World Shut Your Mouth" and "Fried" albums, both of which I love. But I'll have to check out the one's you recommend. Since you mention Green on Red, I wonder if you like, Tim Presley's band Darker My Love, the album I have in mind is "Alive As You Are" And finally my favorite post-90s psych band by far is Broadcast! Frequently United States of America (band) inspired. More psychedelic as they went, entering into the realm of "hauntology" toward the end. Recommended!
Another lovely video. Thanx. You made me curious about Wooden Shjips. I listened to it right away and spontaneously ordered 3 albums on vinyl. Your videos are getting expensive for me. But no matter, at 65 you can go "all in".😜🇩🇪
cool Check out his other project Rose City Band too.
@@mazzysmusic thanx. Will check this out
Great video. I've been a Red House Painters fan for many years. Never has it occurred to me to think of them as psychedelic.
Well not in the classic way but the moody spaciness of their music works as I see it. So subjective.
@@mazzysmusic Yes, and one can certainly trip to their music..
Hi Mazzy - Great to see The Days Of Wine & Roses by The Dream Syndicate & Mazzy Star with So Tonight That I Might see with the wonderful 5 string Serenade written by Arthur Lee. The 90's closed out with the amazing The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips & Deserters Songs by Mercury Rev. I recommend A Storm In Heaven by The Verve its much more organic then Urban Hymms. The one in between , A Northern Soul is a bit of a mess. Glad you like Julian Cope & The Bunnymen as Heaven Up Here is my all favorite album. First Psychedelic Furs is Awesome ! Nice 🎷 " I'm American , Ha Ha Ha ! "
Thee Oh Sees are a great psych. band. I heard an interview with Johnny Marr where he said Thee Oh Sees album "Putrifiers II" was one of his favorite albums
They blew my mind live!
Face Stabber is a great album!
They have a huge catalog too! I only have a few of them, but Putrifiers II is magnificent. I really like Carrion Crawler too.
Hey Mazzy, I've now watched 3 of your psyche videos (this one + LA and SF) and i really appreciate them all, to the extent of taking notes (!) because I'm heading up to San Diego for the Dylan show this weekend, + record digging obviously, and my intention is to come back to Mexico with as many as I can find, budget constraints withstanding! I'll be more focused on the classic 60s era, but this is a tremendous resource also, and I was actually surprised to find I already have a few. Delighted to see my compatriots Primal Scream here! Any record stores to recommend in San Diego? Love your channel, watch everything, cheers m8
Sorry but I don’t know the San Diego record market at all. Haven’t been there in 25 years. Enjoy your trip ❣️
This is a tough one, we all have our own ideas and by god ours are right. Nice to see Caribou, really liked that album. Red House Painters, I always found them kind of slow and depressing and not psych but we all hear something different. World Party of course is a personal favorite. I think Galaxie 500, maybe Luna, Spacemen 3, Fuzztones, my god such a list. Green On Red is another personal favorite group. I did a 80s Left of The Dial last year countdown which covered so many of these great bands. I really never got into 60s psych but man I love the 80s version. Sadies, great. Okay, yes too many subgenres. It there Death Neo Psych, must be. Great video. Steve
Great list which goes through various decades. I would also recommend for Neo-psychedelia Broadcast, Pram (cinematic baroque pop psych), Acid Mother´s Temple, Bardo Pond, The Telescopes, Spiritualized (shoegazey, spacey psych), some of the stuff by the Stoner Rock genre (Kyuss, Monster Magnet)(acid rock hard rock psych), Primal Scream´s Screamadelica, Happy Mondays, The Charlatans first albums (rave influenced indie psych around the "Madchester" scene), Shpongle, Hallucinogen, Infected Mushroom (psytrance and psyambient-psychedelic electronic rave music), Boards of Canada, Nightmares on Wax and Seelfeel (very psychedelic takes on the IDM and downtempo electronic genres) and for current nice psych bands check Khruangbin and Crumb
What a great list. I'd like to give a shout out to the Elephant Six crew - Apples in Stereo, The Olivia Tremor Control, Elf Power and other luminaries. The Apples "20 Cases Suggestive Of..." from "The Discovery of a World Inside The Moone" is a total trip... And another to Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, sublime English neo-psych - albums like "Queen Elvis", "A Globe of Frogs", "Perspex Island"... And finally Quilt's amazing album "Held in Splendor".
TEMPLES with SUN STRUCTURES
AND the MOST PSYCHEDELIC YOU CAN FIND ( ahum ) is THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF THE ALL with GREETINGS FROM THE PLANET OF LOVE ( in fact Andrew Gold )
That was great, thank you! There's some additional things I like listening to, but I just know certain cuts. The French band La Femme does a lot of psychedelia, but not all of their stuff is.
_La Femme - Cool Colorado_ is fun.
_La Femme - Vagues_ is deep and dreamy
Australian geniuses _The Avalanches Saturday Night Inside Out_ sounds like an old Timothy Leary spoken word record.
_Phaeleh - Afterglow feat Soundmouse_ from around 2010 is more electronica, but this cut is amazing. And the lyrics remind me of the inner game while on psychedelics.
_The Graham Situation - Sun's Coming Up_ a Tame Impala cut . . . very reverbie.
I’ll check those out ✌🏽
This is a great topic Mazzy. I had been thinking about something similar and I would also start Modern Psych at 1980. Your opinions of course so I won't say you "missed" anything but ha...as Jon says...many corrections to be made here. Won't give you grief on the Caribou or Verve but those are worthy inclusions. Key bands for me...Spacemen 3 / Spiritualized, Flying Saucer Attack, Olivia Tremor Control (yes to Elephant 6), Moon Duo (another Ripley Johnson project), Oneida, Acid Mothers Temple, White Fence and most importantly Broadcast. A huge band for me. Tame Impala's first 2 albums are incredible, Lonerism the best. However I absolutely can't stand their albums after. Huge fall from grace to me. But I love this topic! May have to respond in motion....
I love Currents but understand why people bristle against it...
Thanks for your strong endorsement of "Rings Around the World". An Irish co-worker turned me on to SFA about 8 years ago.
Did Rain Parade even come close to making your list? I saw them play at 7th Street Entry in Mpls and I loved "Explosions In The Glass Palace".
I hate to say it but, to me, Bittersweet Symphony always sounded like Sonny and Cher singing on an Enya track.
i heard most of the neo psychedelic albums recommended here and I especially like Brain Jonestown Massacre's two recommended albums and a few others too. This chaotic band is surprisingly one of the most prolific and innovative too- 60s psychedelia, Dylan like folk rock. Rickenbacker drenched jangle rock, paisley underground, 80s brit rock, shoegaze, space rock, euro rock and occasional blues . It is like listening to early PF, Late 60s Beatles, Byrds, Stones , Love, Hawkwind, Velvet Underground , Television , Can , Spacemen3 , Jesus& Mary Chain sometimes in the same album
During the Covid time Anton Newcombe of BJM composed ~ 30 songs in 2 months and presented to his fans on CZcams - each song is quite different from other songs and all songs are enveloped in psychedelia of past present and future
Love so many of these records. I saw the Super Furry Animals when they were touring Rings Around the World. Great show, crazy projections!
You really need to check out The Black Angels. They're my all time favorite Neo Psych bans. They also own the trademark for Levitation Festival.
I have two of their albums including one Sean Lennon produced. I just forgot them this time 🤷🏻♂️
No discussion of contemporary psychedelic music is complete without touching upon The Black Angels. They're one of the most important bands in the psych scene.
Where’s the Bevis Frond?! Surely you didn’t mean to do a video on neo-psychedelia and not mention the Bevis Frond!
Beavis Frond
The Chemistry Set
Purple Overdose
The Alain Pire Experience
Los Acidos
Vibravoid
... the list goes on.
Hey Mazzy, you mentioned Red House Painters so I was wondering if you dig The Tindersticks? If not I HIGHLY recommend their first two (both self-titled) albums. - Cary
Great list - one record I’m surprised you missed is Spiritualized’s first (and in my view best) album “Lazer guilded melodies”, it was released in ‘92. Their 2nd album “Pure Phase” is great too.
Don't have it
@@mazzysmusic
Check it out, I think you will like it.
Spiritualized's entire body of work is an fantastic. In fact, all of the Spacemen 3/Spiritualized/Spectrum discography is a must-listen and no discussion of modern psychedelia is complete without them.
@@brianschmitzer6722
Absolutely, the Spaceman 3 albums that I have in my collection are dearly loved by me. Wonderful stuff. Spectrum’s early albums I have only recently discovered and they are fantastic. Great music for those who seek something a little otherworldly. I’ve seen Spiritualized twice, the second time was in Belfast during the “Pure Phase” tour in 1995. They were incredible - and my friends and I were having a psychedelic experience that evening - amazing gig.
Sonic Boom and Jason are two very talented men.
Also, Spiritualizeds' earlier band "Spaceman 3".
I completely agree with most of your psychedelic choices, and I have many of the recordings, myself. I was utterly surprised, however, that you haven't mentioned "The Luck Of Eden Hall" for an absolutely amazing psychedelic pop band! Their mastermind, Greg Curvey, has been putting out albums by that band name since the mid-90's, but the six or so albums that were made between 2009 and 2016 are the most spot-on "neo psychedelic" pop stuff since the Dukes of Stratosphere- and maybe even more originally sincerely late-60's- sounding, since they lack the sense of tribute, parody, or direct quotation in much of that kind of material made by many others. It's as if they were put in suspended animation back in '67 and were woken up in 2009 to resume their psychedelic rock career as if they were just picking up where they left off (they even use actual mellotrons). I highly recommend their "Butterfly Revolutions" (vols. 1, and 2) as a place to start, or the 2016 "Acceleration Of Time" 2-record "concept album".
Mr. Curvey has since moved on, and formed a new, more "jangly", more acoustic-sounding band called "Custard Flux", which has three albums out by now and is pretty psychedelic, too.
Thanks for the suggestions. Both bands are really good and worth hearing.
Some great choices there man. Check out my album called Cats of Sherman for a recent take on psychedelic rock. I'm based in Seattle area also. You gave me some new bands to check out. Super Furry Animals are one of my favorite artists of the past 25 years or so. Love the XTC/Dukes of Stratosphear albums. Prairie Prince who played on Skylarking played on my album. I'm surprised you didn't include any of the bands from the Elephant 6 collective which fit very much in the psychedelic genre. This includes The Apples in Stereo, Beulah, The Minders, The Olivia Tremor Control, Of Montreal, and Neutral Milk Hotel among others. Well worth checking out. You mentioned The Chapel in San Francisco. My friend Chris von Sneidern was the live sound man there for a while and he is part of the current lineup of The Flamin Groovies. He mixed most of my album and collaborated on a few tracks as well. He's a great artist in his own right in more of a power pop style. Thanks for the video. Check out the book Kaleidoscope Eyes which is all about neo psychedelia. The book is well over 10 years old so it doesn't include the most recent artists, but still a very entertaining read.
Goth never goes away Mazzy. It's very strange. Also, every town in northern England has an ageing Teddy Boy, they were rock'n'roll fans in the 50s. Drainpipe trousers and bootlace ties. Some great choices here. I really like what you call psychedelia. Some I may disagree with, but that's ok. I think, for me, psychedelic music/art has to evoke a sense of another world, just out of focus but right next to our every day world. But then I'm an elderly acid casualty. Good video, cheers, J.
Mazzy you connecting dots on albums I sort of knew but had not really thought about. I will check out a couple of recommendations (i.e. Super Furry Animals) since you recommend stuff I tend too like better than those streaming algorithms achieve. I do love World Party's albums 'Private Revolution' and Goodbye Jumbo (and both albums' environmental theme as in the song you name check 'Ship of Fools'). The two other albums and artists I'd add to this general category are Sparklehorse's 'Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain', and The Amazing's 'Picture You'. Both are favourite albums from the 2000s and seem to me have the spacious melancholic feel of late 60s music.
Hi Mazzy, think that you might like to check out Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine by the Cosmic Rough Riders. Scottish psychedelic !
today. Been pleasantly entertained by BRIAN JONESTOWN MASACRE..love your visits.......MAZZY!went to school this morning love the SHJIPS.ah rose city.chock full visit...
Rings Around The World is a f8cking belter.
My Nation Underground is a great album by Julian Cope. Also, The Sidewinders were another terrific band from Tucson, AZ. Both their albums, Witchdoctor and St. Aunt Ramie’s Pool Hall are in that desert rock mode.
Bevis Frond - Inner Marshland and all his/their earlier albums. The Church - Heyday & The Blurred Crusade.
Since you mentioned Heron Oblivion and you have an obvious affection for San Francisco, definitely check out Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound. Their guitarist is in Heron Oblivion also. Amazing band.
Hi Mazzy, nice one, thanks... Glad to see you mentioned "Caribou", however the album you showed, Our Love, is not one of his first, it is in fact his penultimate album dating 2014...for the true pinnacle of the psychedelic Caribou experience I would suggest you'd give his first album a spin... The milk of human kindness
as well as the first two albums under his earlier moniker "Manitoba"...
Start breaking my heart
Up In Flames
And last but not least, try to grab a copy of "Marino, the videos" , a DVD/CD which includes 16 video clips made for the albums The milk of human kindness and Up in flames, plus four unreleased tracks on the bonus CD... just essential and stunning stuff (released by Leaf, with cat. nr BAY 55DVD)
Cheers !
Just grabbed myself a copy of Marino a few weeks ago!
There's several really excellent Caribou records working backwards from Our Love that you might enjoy. Swim, Andorra, and Milk Of Human Kindness are perhaps even more on the psychedelic pop (or even krautrock) end of the spectrum. Check out the non-album track Boreal Forest Opper for a sort of tranquil, pastoral, almost Tortoise-like experience. Our Love was my first Caribou album too. i picked it up off a clearance CD rack for 7 bucks... and proceeded to listen to it 12 times in a row while I drove around on a foggy peninsula in northern Michigan. It was an immersive, transformative experience.
Interestingly, you held up a Tame Impala record while discussing the "Coachella effect." I get what you're saying. I think Kevin Parker's work is okay but I'm not a fan of his compressed, crushed drum sound. However his work on the self-titled Melody's Echo Chamber record (2012) is quite good and I think you might dig that too - Broadcast and United States Of America vibes.
You left out the mighty Rain Parade!!
Great Band. I saw you showed Mazzy Star but Rain Parade are awesome too
RIP Dave R.
Amen. Norman should be a late night DJ
You missed to many gems: David Roback was in the Rain Parade who released several great early eighties albums (the best one was 'Emergency Third Rail Power Trip'). The Three O'Clock/Salvation Army released records around the same time, by comparison they were less guitar and more keyboard driven. Both bands, Dream Syndicate and The Bangles loaned their members to the Rainy Day "supergroup" album. And then there was The Damned, under the pseudonym Naz Nomad & The Nightmares, with their release "Give Daddy The Knife, Cindy".
Thank you for mentioning The Sadies. Check out Lee Harvey Osmond (Folk Sinner) for more great Canadian Acid Folk.
Great list, always nice to see Mazzy. Clarification, minute 26:48, that's A Storm in Heaven, not Urban Hymns, I actually like a A storm in heaven more.
Oh, reading the comments and further reccos, I have just thought of one: Kula Shaker's debut K from mid 90s. I enjoyed it at first, got lots of radio play in the UK...but I kinda went off it pretty quickly, the lyrics suddenly seemed kind of silly. Haven't listened to it since that time so dont know how it stands up now, but it definitly fits the psyche criteria. cheers
Talking about neo-psychedelic bands, I have recently discovered a recent band called JHUFUS, I recommend you to check them out, specially the last two EPs (JHUFUS - III and Tales from onion city). You may like them... Thank you for this great video!
I think Stereolab's most psychedelic-influenced album is Crumb Duck, a collaboration with Nurse With Wound
Thank u
Thanks for this video. I agree with you on the most part for what I was familiar with, and appreciate the other half of your recommendations, which I wasn't. But where's Jesus and Mary Chain -- my favorite? ... and all I listen to is psychedelic music.... If you're not familiar with them, you'll love 'em. I believe the Rain Parade live album from the 80s is prime neo-psychedelia, as well -- especially the song 1/2 hours ago. Walla!
I do like Jesus she Mary chain. Saw their first tour in San Francisco. 😎
Some favorites of mine you didn't mention- 80s - The Church. 90s - Olivia Tremor Control 10s - Temples and brand new - The Lazy Eyes. I'm surprised Black Angels and Dandy Warhols didn't make the list but they're not big favorites of mine either.
There’s a whole world of Down Under psych, especially from New Zealand, since the 80s. Also, do you remember that Nuggets box set covering Neo -Psych?
Yeah to XTC & The Dukes!
Your hometown neo-psych hero, Kelley Stoltz, did a note-for-note cover of Crocodiles. His own stuff is great. Surprised you didn’t make the connection between Echo and Teardrops. Practically an extended family. Also, no way Julian is “lost.” Have you read his rock criticism?
Wow, many of these are in my collection (Dukes, XTC, Flaming Lips, Psychedelic Furs, Stone Roses, Tame Impala, Beck)... guess I'm a Neo-Psychedelic music fan and did not know it. The greatest discovery for me here is Wooden Shjips. Apples In Stereo - Her Wallpaper Reverie would fit in well here.
Turnaround colour your mind, great OZ psych from 87,the Hoodoo gurus, the Church two other great Aussie bands, seen all three many times.
Love PeggySuicide and Jehovakill....GREAT albums!!
oh yeah! forgot about Jehovakill! I'm going for that one!
