Psychedelic « Knox Road

Korea in the Space

I listened to this late last night and wasn’t sure if I’d like it again in the morning. I thought it was one of those times where everything I put on I enjoy (happens, like, every night…bad news for blogging), but, in this case, I’m still in like. Thankfully.

Wooden Shjips make best record to date with West

San Francisco has a long history with psychedelic music, but no band epitomizes the new psychedelic sound of San Francisco like Wooden Shjips.

If the first release is indicative of the entire series, all singles will be free to download from Collider’s […]

[MP3 + Video] Hear Hums: “Woo”

[Bear with me for this oddly structured post.]

What the hell is going on in this song?

Hear Hums – “Woo” [MP3]

I don’t know. But I like it.

Accompanying video below (first half of the video is Hear Hums’ song “Cerebellum”, second half is “Woo”). Knox Road goes psych-o this Monday.

Brass Bed, a quartet from Lafayette, Louisiana, spark large with their brand of sonic pop. They released their newest album, Melt White, on Park the Van Records and are providing the lead track from it for free along with a bonus, non album cut.
