I've never thought of Skylarking as psychedelic.
>>60996433
Yeah I know but I've just never thought of it like that. It's funny because I do think of Sgt Peppers that way, and if there's any album that was a blatant attempt at making another Sgt Peppers it's that one. Maybe it's the lyrics.

>Interest in folk music among the independent artists and crossover bands that dominated much of the underground music scene in the late 1990s led to a revival of psych folk during the following decade, with the New Weird America movement, which also saw the rise of the stylistically similar genre of freak folk. Also, Animal Collective's early albums identify closely with freak folk as does their collaboration with veteran British folk artist Vashti Bunyan,[16] and The Microphones/Mount Eerie,[17] who combine naturalistic elements with lo-fi and psychedelia. Both artists received significant exposure in the indie music scene following critical acclaim from review site Pitchfork Media[18][19][20] and soon more artists began experimenting with the genre, including Grizzly Bear,[21] Devendra Banhart, and Grouper.[22]

just the lyrics? the music is heavily inspired from sgt pepper. the production is very lush and filled with overdubs

>There's no such thing as psychedelic music.
>Psychedelic music (sometimes psychedelia[1]) covers a range of popular music styles and genres influenced by psychedelic culture that attempted to replicate or enhance the psychedelic experiences of psychedelic drugs.
>A number of features are often included in psychedelic music. Exotic instrumentation, with a particular fondness for the sitar and tabla are common.[2] Songs often have more complex song structures, key and time signature changes, modal melodies and drones than contemporary pop music.[3] Surreal, whimsical, esoterically or literary-inspired, lyrics are often used.[4][5] There is often a strong emphasis on extended instrumental solos or jams, typically featuring a heavily distorted electric guitar as the main instrument.[3] Electric guitars are used to create feedback, and are played through wah wah and fuzzbox effect pedals.[6] There is a strong keyboard presence, in the 1960s this especially using electronic organs, harpsichords, or the Mellotron, an early tape-driven 'sampler' keyboard.[7] Elaborate studio effects are often used, such as backwards tapes, panning, phasing, long delay loops, and extreme reverb.[8] In the 1960s there was a use of primitive electronic instruments such as early synthesizers and the theremin.[9][10] Later forms of electronic psychedelia also employed repetitive computer-generated beats.[11]

So literally every piece of music ever written could be described as psychedelic by that definition.
Just face it, psychedelic music is not real.

Yep, real descriptive. Clearly a meaningful and specific term applied only to a certain genre of music.
Give me a fucking break. Every song fits into at least one of these categories. Most of them fit into at least 3 or 4.

>replicate or enhance the psychedelic experiences of psychedelic drugs.
most music isnt trying to do that, you lose
this is the ONLY good tame impala song

Riiiiiight, because Rate Your Music knows what's psychedelic and what's not. Rate Your Music must know everything.
Because if it's on Rate Your Music, it must be true.
>>60997087
Most "psychedelic" music isn't either.
>>60997117
It's Tame Impala's best song totally, but their only good song? C'mon son
Where can I find some more psychedelic shoegaze? Cryptograms by Deerhunter sorta fits the bill too.
Any albums that sound like this? I've been searching for around 3 years and haven't found anything that sounds like this
Listening to this right now, it's fucking heavenly.
I've never listened to The Flaming Lips before (although I do plan on listening to their discography some time), and this is my second time listening to Neon Indian (currently making my way through his).
Have you guys heard this?
>>60997183
>Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing
>LSD And The Search For God - Self Titled EP
>Slowdive - Pygmalion (more space rock less distortion but whatever)
>>60997193
Before you go anywhere LISTEN TO THE SOFT BULLETIN

>Before you go anywhere LISTEN TO THE SOFT BULLETIN
I plan on it, eventually. I hear it's like a perfect album or something, like their magnum opus. So I do look forward to it, and their other stuff as well.

try mercury rev - see you on the other side
>>60997265
Dear God wasn't even supposed to be on Skylarking.
>>60997177
None of the albums in OP's imagine have anything to do with emulating the effects of drugs.
>>60997262
It is, but they have a really varied discography. If you want guitar fuzz pop listen to Priest Driven Ambulance, Hit To The Death, and Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. If you want more psych stuff follow from Soft Bulletin onward
>>60997275
Already heard it. I've been trying to find anything similar to STGSTV because it really doesn't sound like any other psychedelia out there
>>60997292
except they all utilize traits of psychedelic music like distorted guitars or eastern influences for the sake of conciousness expansion
>>60997292

What are some other "heavy" psychedelic albums like this one?

Come back when you have real evidence and not a bunch of hippie bull shit. Also, samefag.
Man I'm going to go listen to Skylarking again, thanks /mu/.

hippie bullshit? you do know its scientific fact that psychedelic drugs can expand your mind, right, which is why people take them, especially all the artists in the OP??
>>60997662
DUDE WEED LMAO
>>60997648
Okay, now I remember why I said what I said earlier. On some levels this thing resembles Sgt Peppers. But psych doesn't do chord changes like this thing does chord changes. Psych singers don't sing like Andy and Colin. Psych guitarists definitely don't play guitar like the solo in Supergirl. This is a new wave album through and through.
What a fucking album though. I love XTC so much.
>>60997915
Psychedelic new wave
He even played the solo on supergutl with Eric claptons disraeli gears album guitar, for extra psych authenticity
>>60997979
>psychedelic new wave
I mean NEO-PSYCHEDELIA
>>60997119
Its a better source then some anon's

You should rethink your attitude
you guys ready for the best album of the decade?
