There is quite a bit of hullabaloo about a new wave of psychedelic bands, and to be fair Australia – thanks to the wonderful Tame Impala and the even greater Pond – are right at the forefront.
But actually the best of all are from Chile. I cant tell you anything about them at all, and I can hardly spell the band’s name which is Föllakzoid but it’s definitely beautiful and trance like and I think cooler than the obviously retro things like Temples that the UK is putting forward as contenders.
The literally mind-bending track Pulsar below is taken from their awesome album II which you can cop from HERE and put all the money directly in the bands pockets.
Chilean Krautrock. Hmmm… nice.

(by the way the latest issue of UK music bible MOJO March 2013 comes with a remarkable value FREE “Echoes” CD of some of the jewels in the modern psychedelic world including this one by Wooden Shjips which, lets face it, is every bit as fucking awesome as our Chilean mates)
