I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. Is anyone making psychedelia right now that’s even worth listening to? I feel like basically no one is and when it is executed really well and done in a unique interesting way it’s not straight up psychedelia all the time but mixed with other genres (Blonde, TESTING). I feel like albums like that may be the new psychedelia if anything because they have an understanding and execution of it that other ‘psychedelic’ music completely lacks now. Mostly because ppl making it have completely sidelined the entire genesis of psychedelic music in the first place which is the process of taking psychedelics and creating. I’m curious what ppl who like this type of music think

Bro did you hear stargazing bro? S*** is trippy bro he must’ve been on crazy d**** when he made that 🤣🤣😂😂

“ppl making it have completely sidelined the entire genesis of psychedelic music in the first place which is the process of taking psychedelics and creating.”

I feel like a lot of rappers/artists do just this. Especially rocky

tame impala?

That’s exactly my point and a huge reason why i love Testing so much. Rocky went fully into it and him & hector executed it with amazing results. It’s what makes tracks like Purity, Changes, Praise the Lord, Hun43rd, OG Beeper etc so amazing and special

I’m gonna leave this thread before I start to cringe

Not anymore. His early stuff was just retreading old psychedelic tropes and while Currents was good psychedelic pop, the new project is like adult alternative lol. There’s only ever a song or two per project that feels like what i’m talking about if that. It’s more like psychedelic sounding well done music

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard

Why? Lol you you have nothing constructive to say?

There’s always gotta be one psychedelic elitist in these threads

Quantity over Quality: the band

hookworms

Lmfaooo it’s funny cus i’m a psychedelic elitist in some respects. You would think people obsessed with this type of music would be open minded also lmao at the tame impala avi

Give me one song to listen to

negative space

Playboy carti - opium

This reminds me a lot of like refined krautrock

their earlier stuff is more on the acid rock side if you like that kind of stuff

Kinda true, but their music hits enough for me to atleast be interested whenever they drop

Black midi

a good amount of carti music fits what i’m saying tbh, old and new

No because everyone is recommending Travis and asap rocky as “psychedelic” artist.

i dont hear any psychedelia at all in their music
