It’s no secret that I love Japanese psych music of every decade and style, and I’ve done quite a few shows specifically on Japanese psychedelia, but I’ve never done one that highlights the softer, quieter sounds of Japanese acid and psych folk. Well, here it is. This show is mostly contemporary music (1996 – 2017), with the exception of a track from 1970 that I had to play because it’s so completely amazing.
turn on. tune in. freak out.
