psych playlists


Poisoned Electrick Head (Mk 1) were together twelve years (1986 – 1998), and probably spent ten of them in tourbuses of various types (the band officially reformed in 2009 and are now actively gigging and releasing albums). As an eight-piece touring psychedelic outfit, the choice of listening was never going to be a simple affair, …

Well the year’s not over yet, but already the pre-release information for albums appearing next year is already coming fast and furiously. So while I’ve only just done this year’s Psych Insight ‘best of’ list (click here) next year is already looking like being a great year for music (if nothing else). So while there’s …

A real mixed bag of new music here on Psych Insight this week. I hadn’t heard any of these tracks a week ago and am thrilled to have listened to them now. So just dive in and enjoy what’s new…   The Vanishing Earth Pt III by Tranquonauts Tranquonauts is an album featuring a collaboration …

These days it seems almost impossible to keep up with all the releases that are coming out constantly during the year. One of the reasons I started doing these playlists was to try and keep up a bit more with what’s out there. This week’s Psych Insight playlist is made up from fifteen tracks from …

Catching up with some new releases this week, all these tracks have come out over the last few months and this, as seems to ever be the case these days, points to a thriving and diverse scene. Enjoy this latest Psych Insight playlist!   Heads of Easter Island by White Manna This track is from …

Reviewing a couple of Swedish-related albums over the last week (Drakkar Nowhere and Centralstödet) reminded me of how many great bands have come from that country in the past. Here are fifteen that I thought of off the top of my head, with apologies to the many more great ones that I could have included. Enjoy!   …

A few months back I posted a playlist of bands I was looking forward to see at this year’s Liverpool PsychFest. Since then the list has grown somewhat, and here are fifteen more bands that I hope to see there too; most of whom are new to me. Enjoy!   Gambling with the Crocodile by …

This week’s Psych Insight play list is packed full of massive chunks of heaviness, with a few more chilled out moments along the way. There aren’t a lot of new releases in August so I’ve throw in a few favourites of mine too. Enjoy!   The Nightfeeders by Nudity Utterly brilliant track from a few …
