Comps for Comps: Magic Shoppe, Aethereal, The Sun's Evil Twin, The Isabelles, Royal Atlas, Kontiki Suite, Red Cosmos + DWG

Our compliments to two of our favorite sites for continuing to release great name-your-price compilations of psych and psychpop tuneage. Some of the following have been previously dropped into our Songdrop widgets, so we're quite ecstatic to find they are now available for free and legal download. One or two (e.g., The Isabelles) we've already posted but are doing so again in case you missed them the first time. Pretty good way to pspend a Psunday (or any of the other six). Oh, and if you get to this post sometime after The Psychedelic Underground widgets no longer say "download," click here for possible relief. As always, we're posting only our very favorites. There's lots of great stuff still available where these came from.


Please note there's another Magic Shoppe ditty available in that first TAL widget below. Bandcamp   Facebook

We've been meaning to add this glorious wonder to a post, so why not NOW?

Psych Pop Bonanza at The Active Listener: Resonars, Galileo 7, Prince Rupert's Drops, Laurels, et. al.

An unassuming search for ppfaveband The Resonars turned up a treasure trove of pop psych and more psychy psych at Bandcamp. The Active Listener blog has been getting permish from a bunch of psych bands to publish psychedelic psamplers for the last three months. The compilations can be found here, here, here, and here.

We dug pretty much every song but, our blog being what it is, we're naturally going to post some of the more poppy psych. If you want to delve deeper, go there, there, there, and there.

Some of the widgets below say "Share" and some say "download." Rest assured, though, that if you want to grip the songs below – plus scads of others – you can download all four compilation LPs for name-your-price download.

Many thanks to The Active Listener for its awesomeness.

Oh, one other thing. Please notice on some of the Bandcamp pages the extensive links to other pages on many of the bands. We haven't even begun to scratch that itch, for most of the bands at least.










We're just throwing in this line to break things up a bit.











Oh, and Happy Val's Day.
