“Hibushibire is a Japanese hard psychedelic freak out rock band which formed in 2012… A band name “Hibushibire” is Japanese old porno slang which is meaning as freak out orgasm.”
Acid Mothers Temple & Space Paranoid – Black Magic Satori (2013)
“Japan’s premiere psych collective come together again and form Acid Mothers Temple & Space Paranoid. More stoner rock than psych, this collection of tracks emulate Black Sabbath in all the best ways possible. Slow, doomy starts lead to endless jams and stoner drone.”
Acid Guru Pond – Acid Guru Pond (2016)
“The album opens with a bit of pastoral psych before it moves into heavier tones and the ozone burn of AMT and Guru Guru can both be felt. Its not as slung with rhythmic chug as one might expect given that Guru Guru is involved, rather the combo seems to be coasting on melted vibes that roll through floor puddled zone out to the clash of free jazz ramble (specifically “Orange”). By the time “Red” rolls around the record drops into noisier territory, smoldering in full on cinder-psych territory, uncomfortable in any position and twisting to break free of its constraints.”
Curanderos – Curanderos (2017)
“Formed by the improvised journeys of the formidable Bardo Pond and experimental ensemble Kohoutek, these compositions take you on a cosmic voyage through kosmiche, drone, noise, prog and free jazz. Purveyors of psychedelic rock, Bardo Pond have the outward specifications of a rock band but the rivers that converge into the band’s oneiric flow have their headwaters in the outlands of ecstatic jazz, free noise and the avant-garde.”
The Brotherhood of Eternal Love – Green Morning Baby (2000)
Obscure side project by members of The Spacious Mind featuring psychedelic freakouts.
Elder – The Gold & Silver Sessions (2019)
“Capturing Elder’s expanding dynamic and ongoing progression, The Gold & Silver Sessions is an experimental LP of ranging psychedelic jams that captures their expressive and nuanced development in a way a “regular” studio release wouldn’t. This is still the band who put out 2017’s crushing “Reflections of a Floating World,” but here you’ll witness them following their imaginations in an entirely new direction.”
Automatism – Into The Sea (2019)
“Automatism is a Stockholm-based improvised rock band. We search for moments when music plays itself without effort and try to capture them on record.”
Waterless Hills – The Great Mountain (2020)
Fully improvised psychedelic journey meant as imaginary soundtrack to Eastern inspired western.
Centralstödet – Hjärndimma (2016)
“Centralstödet is essentially a live band, and it’s in this setting that their fire burns brightest. The band clearly hasn’t been sitting on their hands since we last saw them, as these recordings indicate a marked refinement of technique and a vivid expansion of the fundamental Centralstödet sound into new and exciting psychedelic territory. Loops and overloaded echo unit sound bounce around the stage during and between cuts, and the signature mountain troll stomp carved out on Solkurva by the rhythm section of Joni Huttunen and Jonas Fridlund is leavened by the band’s sense of deeply woven inter-connectivity.”
International Harvester – Skördetider (Harvest Times) (2001)
Previously unreleased bonus jam by Swedish psychedelic rock band International Harvester recorded on August 10-12th 1968 in Nacka Aula, Stockholm.
