Thinking about starting a new project. Would be trying to do something like Unwound meets some rougher psych and a bit of dream pop influence, in shorter songs a la GBV. Can't think of any existing band like that. Anyone have suggestions of music that might sound vaguely similar to that to listen to to get inspired?

Not that it's a requirement, but you can't really get the most out of music written on a ton of weed for people who smoke a ton of weed without smoking some weed at one point or another.
>>55081632
It's the first album i'd heard from them, and it's the most cohesive / full sounding release of theirs. I love smoking weed to it almost more than any other album

The first 5 seconds of the track literally summarizes all of shoegaze music, in one guitar strum, it is the absolute sheer perfection of the sonic landscape, and the rest of the song is alright. But that first 5 seconds is so simple yet so brilliant, I don't even like blur that much

this is too hard
For Neo Psychedelic music, the music either completely apes 60's/garage/krautrock
or
goes in a more trippy Anco, Deerhunter vibe
Anyone else agree?
>>55082152
what do you mean by "apes"
>>55082135
charts are lame as fuck and make it so everyone on /mu/ is the same generic bullshit
pick some random albums here
tell us what you like / don't like about it
i'd rather personally help someone find music than to just give them a cookie-cutter chart
>>55082170
not him but in that context the word is a synonym to "copies"
>>55082152
Check out Skaters, Spencer Clark, James Ferraro, etc.
>>55082090
mah nigga
>>55082170
Apes might have been a harsh word. The bands categorized as neo-psych occasionally use steady paul mccartney bass lines and sound too much like 60's bands as oppose to take the psychedelic sound and make it their own.
>>55082185
this
>>55082135
I think there is one, but it kinda fails to acknowledge how many different subgenres there are within psychedelia. Even within neopsych, you've got 'classic' neopsych (eg. XTC), psychpop (eg. AnCo), psychrock (eg. Dead Meadow), psychfolk (eg. Akron/Family), and more.
>>55082133
Can't into
Fucking hate the vocals
>>55081770
>The Spoils of War
my nigga
>>55082185
Yeah thats what i thought. I would disagree then, but I guess it depenson how you define "trippy". Mercury Rev and Early Flips and probably more introduced a unique sound. But if you define that sound as "trippy" than youre correct
I started a new neo-psych chart with what people have posted here and a couple others. What else should I add?
More obscure albums would be good cause most of these are sub-mucore.
can we agree that the psychedelic and neo-psychedelic are pretty much the best genres?

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House is just spacy enough at times to be considered psych folk or freak folk (although freak folk is pushing it). Horn of Plenty is much more lo-fi if you want to include that.
Ariel Pink - The Doldrums or Before Today
I have LSD that is very potent, but I am really hesitant to ingest it because I am fearful that once I am feeling the effects I will have an anxiety attack. The last time I tripped was about a year and a half ago and it was honestly rough for a few hours. Any advice? I have the opportunity to take it at a Panda Bear/Ducktails showas well.

XTC - Skylarking

Something by The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Grandaddy is good. Sucks they kind of get forgotten despite the hype in the early 2000's

if you are gonna have anco at least have goat anco, STGSTV, here comes the indian and hollindagain.
also major organ and the adding machine is worth checking out
>>55082345
If you are prone to anxiety attacks, don't do it at a concert. Just go into the trip with the best of thoughts and do not try to worry. I was very nervous and ended up not being able to have bad thoughts at all. Why was it rough?
>>55082368
This too. STGSTV is one of the best neo-psych albums of recent memory
how come no one ever talks about BJTM on mu
>>55082397
Don't you mean TBJM?
>>55082351
>Flaming Lips - Embryonic
this so much, is their best imo
>>55082354
Yeah. Sophtware Slump is a top 5 album for me, Im always shocked to see how many listeners they have on last.fm with how little theyre talked about.
>>55082256
Innerspeaker, Yellow House, maybe Lonersim?, MPP, Psychic Chasms, Hissing Fauna, King of Limbs maybe (not sure if psych though),
>>55082397
Not sure. Methodrone is a great shoegaze pop album. It's probably because they went all britpop later on
>>55082256
Magic Castles - s/t
>>55082422
I'd argue that In Rainbows is closer to psych than King of Limbs, although Radiohead does a good job of never exactly making psych music, just playing up the psych vibe
>>55082393
I never really had bad thoughts is the thing. The anxiety comes from the intoxication and builds into bodily nausea from the anxiety. It's literally just that overwhelming feeling when you are coming up that puts me into a panic since it so intense for me.
Update. Still have more to add.
>>55082345
do it somewhere chill with some friends, dont drop it all at once, is all in your head man, but dont it until you really feel like doing it
>>55082476
whoops, here's pic
>>55082413
It's so fucking abrasive
Haven't really gotten into it, but will give it a new go later
>>55082475
Just try to ride it out as best as possible. Maybe do less than a tab? I know that's weird but if it helps it helps. Do some breathing and yoga before hand as hippieish as that sounds
>>55082505
add album names to the side
>>55082505
>used my Yellow House rec

White Pepper is a great add. Boredoms is just a whirlwind of intensity.

>It's so fucking abrasive

Dukes of the Stratosphear - 25 O'Clock
Brian Jonestown Massacre - Their Satanic Majesties Second Request
>>55082569
Yellow House is Baroque pop
>>55082562
In others news, I always thought Hissing Fauna was a 90s album.

don't do it at a concert m8, stereotypical bad idea.

>weed

>>55082177
I'll tell you what I liked/disliked about the albums I posted
The Doors s/t - I fucking love this album, in my top 10. I love Morrison's vocals, the organ and synths. The thing i love the most is probably the long instrumental parts in songs that just send me into a trip. Songs that have like 3 minutes in the middle that are purely instrumental with the organ and guitar going nuts, and then Jim Morrison comes back and the songs continues. I don;t know if that makes any sense, Light My Fire is a great example of this.
The Soft Bulletin - It's just so upbeat and makes me feel extremely happy, kinda the opposite of The Doors, but still great. I love songs that have an explosion of instruments like Race for the Prize
Innerspeaker and Lonersism - I love both, I know it's cool to hate Tame Impala on /mu/, but I think they're(he's?) great. I love the guitar and psychedelic atmosphere in the former and the dreamy and catchy synths in the latter. The two songs I mentioned represent what I like most about the Tame Impala.
hope i can get some recs, I would love to listen to more of this genre
Jimi Hendrix - Do I even need to explain? I absolutely love his guitar playing (and Mitch Mitchell is a very underrated drummer too) I dream of one day playing like him, I just love his style of playing
>>55082732
Is this from the BMSR vid
>>55082802
it is
If you've still got space, OP, I guess Wonderful Rainbow is pretty essential listening, though slightly more towards Noise Rock than Neo-Psych.
>>55082810
The Doors are one of the greatest bands ever. I know someone who has a doors book and the forward and tribute are written by Henry Rollins and Perry Farrell back in the 90's. People often attribute the Doors's music to helping found both Gothic rock and eerier parts of psych music
>>55082742
thanks mate, could you rec me also an album to listen while i research those artists?
>>55082802
it is after you've fried your brain with research chems
easily the most psychedelic thing I've ever listened to
