    when you say modern would that include like 95-2005 or even 2008-2012?, or do you strictly mean like last 2-3 years I mean animal collective's merriweather post pavilion came out in 2009, and fishmans's long season was 1996, and the flaming lips were active late 90s and early 00s.

    Beach House, MGMT & Alex G’s latest albums are pretty good psych records.

    i just did. what made that psychedelic?

    abstract lyrics, different variety of non standard instruments, creative genre bending and clashing, general feel unpredictability and weirdness, interesting use of studio effects, album art.

    I would categorize all of that under neo psych type of music and i kinda clarified that in the other comment. Animal collective does have a good deal of psychedelia though, especially their earlier stuff and way more than the other two. Modern meaning right now or in what form it’s taking in certain movements and sounds and kinda outside the realm of psychedelic leaning indie

    psychedelic music mimics the effects of taking psychedelics so it’s really characterized by making you experience “auditory hallucinations”

    basically just music that’s supposed to f*** your mind

    usually this includes the use of panning, flangers, phasers, distortion on guitars, filter sweeps, and a lot of delays, especially on vocals. also a lot of weird “textures” added to the music like white noise or natural sounds like the ocean or the woods for example

    listen to this with headphones, this is accessible and puts it in a nutshell imo:

    listen to this type of music on psychedelic d**** and your love for music will exponentially multiply

    yeah tame has always been my fave. i've been lucky enough to hear some lonerism live too. i just feel like lots of music can be called psychedelic depending on the user. that's why i'm wondering what characteristics are concrete to psychedelic music

    The whole point of the genre is to be a crazy sounding as possible so there is no concrete definition

    For me the absolute best psych albums from the 60s all sound distinct and unique but fall under the general description of trippy

    Yeah nah

    You might wanna look at the Australian indie band scene you might find some bands which fit this mold

    Obvs you mgmt, amco, deerhunter etc also
