Has this been covered here already? I need recommendations. Pop psych has been my thing for many a year, there's a whole gang of it out there if you really want to get deep into it- I've gotten into it but never like crazy crazy deep, so I need more. The real hot schitt only, though, not every cotdamn pop psych turd that's ever been recorded.
Any examples of what you're looking for?
As we've proven in the past, everytime we start a psych thread on Soulstrut, seems like no two people agree on what psychedelia actually is...
But you said POP-psych, and I'm thinking you mean bands like the Merry-Go-Round on A&M, or the Cryan Shames on Columbia (particularly the
Scratch In The Sky and
Synthesis albums)...psychedelia with a poppish, Beatlesque sheen. Dunno if I'm on the mark, but that's what I thought of when I saw the title header.
Yah, I know it's hard to pinpoint exactly what you mean when you start talking about psych. There's a comp out called Fading Yellow, it has a lot of the kinda stuff I'm speaking about. But yeah, some of the groups mentioned so far in this thread would fall under the type of music I'm looking for. But I would really rather know particular songs or even albums that are recommended rather than just saying this group or that group,
A lot of these groups may only have one song out of fifty that are truly BANGIN'.The Rare Bird "Beautiful Scarlet" track I mentioned is a good example of what I like, even though Rare Bird probably isn't really a pop psych band per se.
Here are a few titles that I pulled out of my arse without dwelling on it for too long:
Ronnie Bird "Raining In The City"
Richard Twice "If I Knew You Were The One"
National Gallery "Diana In The Autumn Wind" (as heard on the Soulman "Neva Stop Diggin'" cd on sale NOW at the soulstrut shoppe
)
Rationals "Ha Ha" and The Cyrkle "She Was Here" (as heard on the "Coolin'" cd
)
The Lamp Of Childhood "First Time, Last Time" (version of a song that was also recorded by Clydie King)
The Left Banke "My Friend Today"
There's a whole lot of other examples, but that's kinda the vibe I'm trying to catch. Holla.

And while I'm on the subject, on that Smashbredrens porn mix now on sale at the Strut Shop (that mix is
btw), does anyone know what the track is where dude is singing something like "beautiful scarlet, summer's really gonna hurt you" or some schitt? I may even have that record, I just can't think of what it is. I love that kinda schitt. THANKS IN ADVANCE
