10 Years

anniversary 8 Comments

Today marks a very special day for this place. 10 years ago on January 7 I submitted my first post dedicated to Earthless. This is not a coincidence because they were the band that introduced me to the world of psychedelic jamming and embarked me on the journey of discovering similar music, music that I’m still fascinated with 10 years later. Thanks for staying with Trippy Jam for so long and hoping to see you for even longer. Cheers!

Ellis Munk Ensemble – San Diego Sessions (2020)

2020 Ellis Munk Ensemble psychedelic rock USA 4 Comments

“Fueled by the furious drumming of Paul Marrone, and led by Jonas Munk’s fuzzy lead guitar and the multicolored keys of Brian Ellis, there’s an unmoored, floating quality to the music the large ensemble was creating at these sessions… The closest references would be Miles Davis circa Bitches Brew, Hendrix at Woodstock, or perhaps Can at their most blazing and levitational. The music flows like an electric river of vintage keys, percussion and fuzz guitars. And it’s glowing with life… For fans of Causa Sui, Earthless and Psicomagia this set is not to be missed!”

Tambourinen – Wooden Flower (2020)

2020 psychedelic rock Tambourinen The Myrrors USA 2 Comments

“Tambourinen is the project of Grant Beyschau, a multi-instrumentalist and part of the braintrust behind The Myrrors. Beyschau recorded, performed, and mixed the entire album himself. The album is dominated by deep grooves, entrancing rhythms, and a massive swirl of sound that recalls the Kosmische era of German music and takes on an almost spiritual tone.”

Curved Entrances – Curved Entrances (2019)

2019 Curved Entrances psychedelic rock The Myrrors USA 1 Comment

“Debut release from The Myrrors side-project Curved Entrances, a heavy free-improv noise/psych trio featuring guitarists Nik Rayne and Connor Gallaher and drummer Grant Beyschau. Born out of after-hours rehearsals soon after Rayne and Beyschau hooked up with Gallaher’s own Tucson project The Night Collectors, this album features the first two improvisations ever laid down by the formation, and despite the relative age of the recordings is hopefully a teaser for more material to come!”

Estrada Orchestra – Zucker Tanzclub (2019)

2019 Estonia Estrada Orchestra jazz fusion krautrock 3 Comments

“Formed of vinyl diggers, street musicians and self-taught aficionados, Estrada Orchestra started out as a spontaneous jam band in 2013. Their only intention was to enjoy leisure time and keep an open mind; unknowingly they ended up pioneering the return of jazz-funk in Estonia.”

Paisiel – Paisiel (2018)

2018 jazz fusion krautrock Paisiel Portugal 2 Comments

“Heterodox and digressive musicians, they move freely between the repetition of krautrock and techno, jazz, experimental music and other new musical categories, João Pais Filipe and Julius Gabriel create radio-graphic sounds that inhabits somewhere between the reception and the emission of a signal, like a cosmic telephone exchange.”

2018 Germany Hypnodrone Ensemble krautrock space rock 2 Comments

“A loose collective making ambient spacerock based around the 5 principal players of guitarists Aidan Baker and Eric Quach and drummers Felipe Salazar, David Dunnett, and Jeremie Mortier.”

Runa Gaman – Cepa (2017)

2017 Argentina psychedelic rock Runa Gaman 1 Comment

“Runa Gaman is an instrumental quartet that combines elements of psychedelia, space rock and post rock, native from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Having published his first EP, entitled “Cepa” (2017) and an LP, “Runa Gaman” (2019), the band raises a trip through senses that range from the most meditative ambient, to riff explosions and heavy mantras.”
