Harnessing the equine-like spirit of certain otherworldly entities, Alien Mustangs forge a fresh path through the psychedelic wilderness, sometimes glancing at maps sketched by The 13th Floor Elevators, Loop, Stooges and Spacemen 3, but more often exploring enticing new frontiers. Emanating sonically (and physically) from Thessaloniki, Greece, the band has been crafting its unique blend of 0s-flavored, hypnotic, space-psych trippiness since 2013, releasing their debut LP "Alienation" in 2018. Propelled by psychic waveforms like a lightsail powered by solar radiation, "Sunrays" transports listeners beyond Earth's orbit, into the rarefied company of the guitar gods of Ganymede-along with the first three spacemen to smoke cannabis on the moon. Prepare for blastoff at 2:40. "Forest" is the soundtrack of a trip through verdant wilderness, shafts of sunlight breaking through the canopy above, dragonflies and hummingbirds zipping overhead as dryads leave gifts of sacred mushrooms alongside the path ahead.

Influenced by folk-rock, psychedelia and power pop, the band shares a common love of The Byrds, The Who, The Beatles, The Kinks, Gene Clark, Love, Big Star, Teenage Fanclub, and The Rain Parade. They employ vintage instruments (Rickenbacker, Gretsch, Epiphone, Fender, and Guild) to play their jangly, harmony-laden songs.

A collective of like-minded musicians led by Lionel Pezzano and based in Montreal, Canada, Bhopal's Flowers are inspired by both Eastern and Western influences in their soulful, sophisticated approach to songcraft. Guided by the spiritual science of Anthroposophy, the band seeks truth through beauty, with each song blending modal and harmonic systems in a dancing constellation of esoteric concepts, powered by sitar and 12-string Rickenbacker guitar and driven by catchy melodies and intricate psychedelic arrangements.

"Crying All The Time!" transports TBW into the realm of glorious pop psych, launching listeners into its stream of soaring, sonic splendor (and mellotronic majesty, courtesy of ex-BJM keyboardist Rob Campanella). Undoubtedly the first and only song to offer up such sumptuous words as delirious, imperious, mysterious, insidious and perfidious in a single set of lyrics. "One Hundred Million Times Around The Sun" conveys its cosmic trippiness in title alone, then delivers in spades with mind-twisting backwards guitars and soothing promises of everlasting bliss. "Much Of A Muchness" purrs along like a pristine engine fueled by no-knock, high-octane mind fuel, serenaded by seraphic vocals and glimmering guitars.

Bridging the gap between '60s psychedelia and modern indie rock, Los Angeles-based psychedelic rock group Communicant is the brainchild of songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Dylan Gardner. An Illinois native, Gardner brings a love of glorious, mind-expanding songcraft and recording techniques to his kaleidoscopic compositions and arrangements. Influenced by the cream of both classic and contemporary psych, Communicant evolves the timeless dynamic established by legendary bands such as July, The Creation and The Beatles as well as the exciting, 21st-century sounds of Ty Segall, Tame Impala and MGMT. Along with his brother Mark Gardner (drums), Jeff Frantom (guitar) and Okudaxij (bass), Communicant spread their wings in mid-2019 and released their debut EP, Memory Palace, in early 2020. Featuring their Sean Lennon-approved reimagining of his song "Parachute", the EP is a bite-sized swirling listening experience with the feel of a full-length album. Dusty drums meet with Syd Barrett-esque slide guitar and cascading mellotrons on songs like the energetic "Feeling Better?" and lysergic anthem "Sleepwalker". Now, Communicant have teamed up with Los Angeles-based label Hypnotic Bridge to introduce their first vinyl 45 single with their double A-side "She Moves the Sky" and "Prisoner Cloud". Their debut album is scheduled for release in early 2021.

With a promise of mind-melting kaleidoscopic visions, "Swirling Sight" launches its phase-a-delic trip instantaneously, pulling you into The Creation Factory's most glorious slice of sixties-style psych-pop ever pressed to vinyl. A roiling, driving beat gives denizens of the dance floor (and the DJs who inspire them) the chance to groove with delirious euphoric abandon. A sitar-laden psychedelic soundscape that evokes The Beatles' "Flying" boosted supersonically to the edge of space, "Sunflower" blooms beautifully in a scintillating cycle of deep, droney, organic intensity.

Dream Phases began with a vision of evolving the sounds launched by legendary L.A. bands such as The Byrds, The Beach Boys, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, as well as those who followed, including The Rain Parade, Elliott Smith, Darker My Love, and Autolux. Raised in California and steeped in the unique elements of the West Coast, Dream Phases filters the magic that emanates from all that surrounds them. From the sun-soaked beaches, verdant valleys, and soaring mountains, to the hard-boiled legacy of Los Angeles and the bright, neon promise of Hollywood, the band is a reflection of the environment in which they are immersed. Focused on creating songs that evoke a sense of serene, ethereal dreamscapes, the band shares a love of searching out obscure artists and records, integrating their multifaceted influences into an original, modern expression of music and style.

Starting with their 2004 debut album "Chalk Dust Dream of the Tea Cozy Mitten Company," The Flower Machine has been one of the longest-running yet most obscure bands in the Los Angeles psych scene. Led by Dutch-American singer and guitarist Peter Quinnell, the band has consistently focused on crafting dense, heavily-overdubbed psych-pop songs, delivered through an intermittent series of loud and chaotic performances over the years in the LA club scene. Strongly influenced by Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, The Outsiders, and Kevin Ayers, The Flower Machine's idiosyncratic take on psychedelia was shaped during Peter's formative years in Amsterdam, a city where the spirit of 1967 in many ways never ended. "One in a Million," perhaps the most obscure item in the Pink Floyd cannon, makes its vinyl debut on the B-side. Surviving only on a murky audience tape from a gig in Copenhagen in September, 1967, the song is thought to be a joint composition between Syd Barrett and Roger Waters. It even may have been an early version of the rumored "She Was a Millionaire" single The Pink Floyd were working on to follow up "See Emily Play."

The psych-folk spirit of '66 comes jangling through the mists of time with the profound sounds and imagery of "In The Morning I Will Roam", transporting those who listen intently into the pensive, rustic realm of classic British troubadours, from Donovan to Vashti Bunyan. "Winter Is Blue" is, in fact, one of Vashti's own early classics, transformed into a perfect complement to the A-side by The Higher State's visionary take on her obscure contribution to 1968's "Tonite Let's All Make Love In London" soundtrack.

Dreams and rivers. Oceans and prisons. Inner battles. Outer cages. The bards of old. The '60s loom large... be they the 1660s or the 1960s... from O'Carolan to Keith Richards and a thousand books and whistles in between. The influences are smashed together violently... and tenderly. William Blake. Roger McGuinn. Fairport Convention. Lord Dunsany. The Who. The instrumentation on both "10,000 Tomorrows" and "From Field To Field" is actually more than that produced by physical instruments. It is often the way they are recorded: the placement of mics (or the deliberate lack of mics), the use of effects on a guitar passage for impact and its removal as its sound goes elsewhere. Sometimes the vocals become a vibrato that sound like what you could hear at the feasts of the ancient Irish High Kings. The sounds are acoustic and electric, mechanical and spiritual.

Curated to complement one another, the songs on this single are among the trippiest yet from The Mad Walls. "It Turns" arrives like an echo from the past broadcast from the future, with early Floydian sounds and sentiments drifting within a stream of dreamy psych. "Eternal Light" gallops with muted hooves through a fever dream of dense butterscotch brilliance, an Edwardian ghost swirling alongside holding a spliff the size of a torch, illuminating facets of strange, undulating gems along the path.

Band members Josiah Webb (vocals, lead guitar), Stevie Moonboots (bass), Dave Mulvaney (drums, and Richie Gibson (rhythm guitar) will be launching a European tour in early 2020, showcasing their spellbinding live dynamic while immersed in a triptastic swirl of liquid lights.

On marshmallow white vinyl. Formed in Tucson, Arizona by lead singer Timothy Gassen with a band name inspired by dialogue in Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz, The Marshmallow Overcoat have been an essential element of the American garage and psychedelic music scene since 1986, releasing their debut LP, The Inner Groove, on legendary label Dionysus Records the following year. The band's signature "Arizona Sound" is informed by their love of everyone from The Chocolate Watchband, Doors, Beatles, Byrds, Strawberry Alarm Clock and Electric Prunes to The Fuzztones and early Miracle Workers. Band leader Timothy Gassen's decades-long fascination with Rickenbacker-based psych pop is the impetus for "Wait For Her," with guitarist Matt Rendon coaxing those glorious trademark sounds from a 12-string Rickey, along with a full complement of other vintage instruments the band uses whenever and wherever possible. The '60s tradition of having a band theme song is the inspiration for "The Marshmallow Theme," with its buoyant call-to-action of learning to "float away." Like the A-side, it features a range of classic gear, including Vox amps, fuzz boxes, Rickenbacker bass and 12-string, and Vox and Farfisa organs.

Based in Portland, Oregon and influenced heavily by their mutual love of jangly '60s psych, The Reverberations began crafting their authentic sounds in 2015, approximately 50 years after the first tinges of the musical trip that started in the mid '60s (and is still going strong) were initially detected. Led by guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Dave Berkham (formerly of The Cry!), who met rhythm guitarist John Jenne (ex-Sundaze and White Swans) and drummer/percussionist Ian Bixby (ex-Go Fever and Errata Note) while playing in a 0s cover band, the group subsequently added Cameron Mazzia (Dave's former bandmate in The Midnight Callers) on bass and Bob Fountain on keys to form The Reverberations.

On hypnotic orange vinyl (hence the higher price)! A psychedelic supergroup composed of members of Electric Looking Glass, Triptides, Dream Phases, Frankie and the Witch Fingers and more, Sacred Orange is the brainchild of former Creation Factory guitarist Neil Soiland. With influences as diverse as One In A Million, The Beatles, Les Fleur de Lys, Graham Gouldman, The Beach Boys, Tommy Roe and Satanic Majesties-era Rolling Stones, the Sacred Orange project epitomizes not only the mind-blowing music that defined psychedelia's golden age, but the camaraderie and shared inspiration that brought it to life. Intended solely as a studio project, over 60 separate tracks were recorded for "Mister Opel" alone. Months in the making, the three songs that constitute the Sacred Orange EP serve as the magnum opus of the now-legendary project, in which nearly every denizen of the L.A. psych scene was seemingly somehow involved.

Chicago's Secret Colours mix a mind-melting dose of psychedelia and American rock 'n' roll with the trippiest sounds emanating from Britain in the '90s to create an immersive experience all their own. Incorporating ample amounts of fuzz and delay, the resulting aural offerings conjure up an impression of The Stone Roses and The Brian Jonestown Massacre joining forces as a supergroup circa 1975. Tracked to half-inch, 8-track tape using vintage recording equipment and analogue techniques, Secret Colours crafted both "Oblivion" and "I Feel Love" exclusively for their Hypnotic Bridge single. Recorded live in the studio to capture the energy and spontaneity of four musicians interacting, the band then added extra layers of fuzz, Mellotron, string synths, reverse guitar, and a plethora of tape delays to create a swirling, psychedelic haze that propels the music into new realms. "Oblivion" embraces a lysergic country rock tone in the vein of The Byrds and Relatively Clean Rivers while reflecting on the current state of affairs. The instrumental cover of what has long been considered the most psychedelic of disco songs, "I Feel Love," has been a strong staple of the band's live set, a trippy tribute to Donna Summer's classic groover.

Simian Life came into being as a studio project for brothers and longtime Los Angeles psych veterans Andy (from Chief Nowhere, Occult Wisdom, etc.) and Robert (from Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Quarter After, etc.) Campanella. Inspired by intrepid acts mainly from the golden eras of yesteryear, the brothers, along with like-minded collaborators, seek to capture the sounds of wherever their muses may take them. The guest musicians on the record are known in Los Angeles circles as well (Rishi Dhir from Elephant Stone, Misha Bullock from Tennis System and Stevenson Ranch Davidians, et al). Whether the song be mellower (ā la Nick Drake, Roy Harper, or The Beatles) or heavier (ā la The Move, The Who, or The Beatles), Simian Life puts an emphasis on instrumental and vocal texture in hopes of creating an atmosphere for going within or travelling throughout...or both. 		7"
