John Duran: 'Tell Me' came from an acute period of self-reflection and the meeting of a very special person in my life. I wrote it several years ago and for a while it was a staple in our live set, sometimes extending to over 20 minutes. For the single, the idea was to retain the vibe of the original version… at the same time, I wanted to maintain a relatively cohesive overall sound with the other work we’ve been putting out lately. To do this, we shortened the song to around two-and-a-half minutes or so and recorded everything to four-track cassette tape for an authentic sound. Instead of using electric guitars primarily, we swapped them for acoustics, with the fuzz from the ‘60s Maestro fz-1a (through a Silvertone 1448) appearing only here and there. We added the Danelectro baby sitar and a low Hammond drone through a Leslie rotating speaker for that elusive extra touch. Moonlight Love lyrically is a result of my interest in occult literature and practices… for the recording, the notion was to follow the lines of Tell Me to a degree, as this song was intended to be the flip side for this single from the get-go.

Everyone has secrets—some dark, some joyous. The inspiration for The Secrets In Her Eyes comes from hidden desires that simmer beneath the surface and the realization that sometimes those secrets are more interesting when they remain a mystery to others. When The People Arise is a reflection of what’s happening in our world right now. We are the people, and we have the power, but it seems we don’t realize it or perhaps once knew but have since forgotten it. The psychedelic intensity of both songs was achieved in part through the unique sounds of Vox Phantom guitars and a Mellotron for interesting bass sounds, plus vintage effects including Coloursound Fuzz and various tape and analogue delays via the Dynacord Echo and Boss DM1. A classic Tascam 424 4-track cassette machine and an archaic Sennheiser Md421 microphone provided the perfect authentic touches.

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.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.

Space Diary / Dimmelo

Paint Me A Dream / The Witch

Release: 2024 / EU – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

When The Piaggio Soul Combination recorded a few songs with legendary Italian guitarist Dome Le Muerte, they knew he would bring his psychedelic brilliance to the mix. And he did. So much so, in fact, that 'Space Diary' didn’t quite fit the vibe of their recent album and found its way instead to the lysergic sanctuary of Hypnotic Bridge Records. Dome's trebly, tremolo-barred chords are reminiscent of John Cipollina's work with Quicksilver Messenger Service; but the sound of the 1967 Satanic Majesties-era Rolling Stones serves as the greatest inspiration here, both in the song’s "space journey" topic as well as the massive use of Mellotronic flutes, violins and horns. ‘Dimmelo' was inspired by The Open Mind’s 'Free As The Breeze.’ Guest vocalist Marina Mulopulos entered the band’s circle when she taught band leader Marco Piaggesi a type of vocal therapy in which breathing exercises and pronunciation techniques are used to expand consciousness and awareness. Marina showcases her amazing vocal harmonies in the song’s middle section. Acid Jazz Records artist Andy Lewis (known for his work with Paul Weller, Pimlico, Spearmint, et al) produced 'Space Diary;' while Sandro DelCarratore produced ‘Dimmelo.'

The Chemistry Set

Crying All The Time! / One Hundred Million Times Around The Sun And Much Of A Muchness

Release: 2024 / EU – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

Both songs are influenced by the collective immortal spirits of Arthur Lee and Love, Syd Barrett, Jimi Hendrix, Tomorrow, The Electric Prunes and Ennio Morricone. "Paint Me A Dream" begins, lyrically, with a group of mystics who become hypnotized as they sing together while playing dulcimers and lyres. This in turn evolves into mystical visions and a request to the divine eye to paint them a dream (travel from the grey to the technicolor). Yes, it's a trip. Musically, the song employs layered multiple rhythm guitars to create a wall of sound, using the differing tones of a 1963 Fender Esquire with custom pick-ups (as Syd Barrett once wielded) and a Gretsch with TV Jones pick-ups. After the first guitar solo, a bow of appreciation is given to the band HP Lovecraft, with harmonies in a style similar to a part of their live version of The Drifter. The Witch felt like a great choice for a cover. For the intro, the band crafted a Bee Gees-inspired five-part Gregorian chant to achieve the desired ethereal vibe, while a bit of Red Krayola-style free-form-freak-out later in the song adds a new twist to Mark Fry’s obscure classic. The full glory of psychedelia was further augmented with a collection of interesting instruments, including Persian setar, acoustic cigar box guitar, strangely tuned 12 string acoustic, vintage keyboards, various ethnic percussive instruments and even a half full whiskey bottle hit with a knife!

Crying All The Time! launches 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 acid, serenaded by seraphic vocals and glimmering guitars.

Awash in aural delights emanating from a Wurlitzer electric piano along with Epiphone Casino and fuzz guitars, the song has all a seeker of psyched-out bliss could ask for. Shimmering with dronalicious sitar, Farfisa organ, 12-string guitar and Beatle-ish bass, She Is Dressed In Red is the perfect marigold comedown after spinning the A-side at maximum volume.

Mantra / Surfers On Acid

I Fear The Void Is Waiting For Me / Acid Lake

Release: 2024 / EU – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

The result of a years-long process to distill the ultimate hybrid of instrumental surf and psychedelic bliss, Mantra and Surfers On Acid was conceived as the definitive psych-surf single and timeless summer soundtrack. Mantra picks up where Trabants’ 2015 album on Lolipop Records, Freakout, left off, inspired by the psychedelic sounds of the ‘60s while chasing and embracing the era’s righteously primitive fuzz effects. An aural ride through the tumultuous, exotic waves of an alien terrain, Surfers On Acid is an idea brought to fruition via vintage sounds and methods, fusing surf and psychedelia into one symbiotic piece of music. Rhythmic, reverb-drenched and brimming with layers of (forwards and) backwards guitar, these mind-and-body focused songs are also a response to the enigmatic mention of surf music in the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix’s 'Third Stone From The Sun,' which Hendrix apparently was transmitting to fellow left-handed guitar hero and surf music legend Dick Dale, as he said: And you’ll never hear surf music again (that sounds like a lie to me).

Psych pop with deep grooves and endless ego deaths. It's no accident the name Timothy Eerie is so close to that of Timothy Leary. This is the aural equivalent of two tabs and a trip down the rabbit hole. Since their first release in 2017, these day-glo denizens of the (Orange) Sunshine State have been kicking around the underground, making quite a name for themselves in a short period of time. I Fear The Void Is Waiting For Me (inspired by a serious dose of mushrooms and the resulting experience of dissolution and rebirth) and Acid Lake were both recorded in a few different places. Bass, drums and rhythm guitar were tracked live at a studio on a college campus. The band slipped into BB King’s as they were closing one night and recorded the organ parts on a vintage Hammond and Leslie setup in about 15 minutes. The vocals and other overdubs were all done in the bedrooms of the various band members. The idea was to make the songs sounds as loud, fast and energetic as they sound live.

Evolving from a deep well of concepts and sounds that came together during the long, strange months of the lockdown, Funtime Sunshine is the perfect song at the perfect time, encapsulating the optimism of an enlightened new era on our horizon. Flowing with dreamy, lysergic lyrics and sitar-laden soundscapes, it’s an invitation to let go of it all and bask blissfully in the eternal Now. The B-side, ’66, shifts The Smoking Trees sound into a higher, faster gear, celebrating the monumental year the fuse was lit for an explosion of psychedelic fashion, film, art and, most importantly, music. Capturing the psych-garage energy of the era, it’s the complement to the A-side’s meditative mindfulness.

The Seeds

Gold To Blue & Little Grey Men / Bold Marauder

Release: 2024 / EU – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

To many, the Seeds edgy dissonant sounds and relentless fuzz-fuelled drive, tinged with flights of psychedelic fancy, makes them the quintessential exponent of the garage rock genre. For decades, the name The Seeds was most closely identified with the activities of their eccentric vocalist, the late Sky Saxon, but the first, path-finding line-up was always a collaboration, the musical director of which was, without a doubt, keyboard whiz Daryl Hooper. Now, in the 2020s, as the only surviving original Seed, Daryl has reclaimed his birthright with a new and powerful set of Seeds. The guitars fizz and throb, the drums grind and groove, and Hooper's piano and organ parts remain as spookily compelling as ever. Paul Kopf delivers a performance one hundred percent in keeping with the energy and verve that is The Seeds’ signature. Careful to undertake writing and recording of new material with the same spirit that made the original Seeds discs so evocative, ‘Vampire’ and ‘Butterfly Child’ aspire to inspire rather than revive. Having worked extensively on the Seeds’ back catalogue as well as writing/producing the rockumentary The Seeds: Pushin’ Too Hard, Alec Palao oversaw the new single at SGV Studios in Alhamabra using the same methods that had worked for the original band in their heyday: recording live to analog tape with only a minimum of overdubs, in order to preserve the dynamics so often lacking from modern productions

Immersed in the rural pop-psych glory of Younger Than Yesterday-era Byrds, the irrepressible Gold To Blue proves the time between 1967 and 2021 is but the blink of a blissed-out eye. With a soaring power pop intensity that belies its dark, eponymous topic, Little Grey Men chronicles an era in which we are constantly observed and analyzed. An epic enigma of arcane imagery since it was first released in 1965, Richard Fariña’s timeless folk-rock classic, Bold Marauder has been covered by musicians as diverse as John Kay and Kendra Smith. The Resonars bring an unparalleled potency to the song, amplifying the feverish fervor of the lyrics with a psychedelic, guitar-driven assault that conjures up Blue Cheer launching an acid-folk crusade.

Both songs reverberate with the iconic glory of the American West, serving as a psychedelic soundtrack for high adventures as yet unrealized.

Let us be honest here: 'Some Strange Lust' is about dropping LSD — the romance of it and the lust for the feelings it brings. You might notice we threw on a bit of electric jug in tribute to The Elevators. 'One In A Blue Moon' is about a dream, and we had all had part in writing the different sections. The second section, which features Veronica Bianqui, came to me as I was drifting off to sleep and woke me right up as I knew I had to write it down. We used many instruments to bring a full, orchestrated, psychedelic feel, including autoharp, ring modulator, Marxophone, harpsichord and other things we've never used before. The song was a blast to make and we're super stoked with how it came out.

Psych pop for the 21st Century, You And Me In Space” takes us on a cosmic trip to the edge of the galaxy, fueled by love and a blissed-out dissolution of all that keeps us from soaring beyond our everyday confines. Recorded in an industrial estate in North London, the band set the scene by filling the room with multi-colored lights before deploying a full range of vintage equipment and psychedelic effects: backwards Telecaster through a Big Muff pedal, Hofner bass, space-age organ and even high-pitched, fuzzed-out vibrations made by blowing through blades of grass. Recorded during the Waves” album sessions and selected specifically as an exclusive song for the Hypnotic Bridge 45, Clocks” is dedicated to those who love the sound of the wah-wah guitar in its most psychedelic setting. Drummer Shin Okajima’s dramatic drum on the intro was inspired by the style and sound of the traditional Japanese Wadaiko.

It Turns” arrives like an echo from the past broadcast from the future, with early Pink Floyd-ian 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. Blending styles and adding new dimensions in their frenetic pursuit of mind-melting music, The Mad Walls have honed their craft with continual live performances, joining some of the most notable contemporary psych bands on stage at venues throughout Los Angeles and beyond. Sometimes joining the band on stage (as well as in the studio), multi-instrumentalist Glenn Brigman (Triptides, Levitation Room) brings keyboard magic to the Mad Walls sound.

Sheer psychedelic brilliance. Strange World” is classic psychedelia from the first line of the lyrics, relating the musings of a whimsical soul who, lying horizontally, looks up and reflects on how watching a fly traverse the ceiling makes it feel as though he’s upside down. The perspective then shifts to that of the fly, who laments how the people below continually try to destroy its kind. We suspect the song’s unknown author was a fan of The Pink Floyd (and Syd Barrett in particular). Red And Green Talking Machine” is the tale of a frustrated young fellow, quite possibly the same one who’s been observing diptera dancing on the plaster skies above, bemoaning the lack of keenness” on the part of his pet parrot, who apparently isn’t much of a talker after all.

Currently based in San Luis Obispo, California, The Flower Machine recorded the basic tracks for their Hypnotic Bridge single in a cavernous warehouse, on a vintage 8-track machine. The tapes were then taken to a studio in Cambria, where they added sitar, flute, organ, backwards guitars and subtle layers of Mellotron cello to complete the A-side, Through A London Window, which was inspired in part by Antonioni’s 1966 cinematic masterpiece Blow Up. One in a Million, perhaps the most obscure item in the Pink Floyd canon, 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 Roger Waters and Syd Barrett. It even may have been a version of the rumored She Was a Millionaire single The Pink Floyd were working on to follow up See Emily Play. Peter spent ages decoding its lyrics, enabling us to present here, for the first time ever, a fully realized version of a song that many consider to be one of the last holy relics of the Barrett era. Peter employs a black-and-white Danelectro 59 for the guitar parts, while Matt Nice plays the menacing, Rick Wright-influenced organ.

Dream Phases

Helen Highway / Tandy

She Moves The Sky / Prisoner Cloud

Release: 2024 / EU – Original

Genre: Rock & Indie

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

As the synths on the song attest, "Helen Highway" was written while listening to a lot of Gary Numan, with the synthesizer tracks layered in a way that lets the listener fall into the song and be swept along. The lyrics relate how we only get one chance at life, reminding us not to be complacent and to remember we can change continually, pursuing the life we truly want to live. With the influences of not only Gary Numan, but The Verve and The Velvet Underground, the song builds to an ending of pure release. "Tandy" is about reflecting on a past relationship and questioning its outcome. Written with a garage-psych feel influenced by L.A.'s Paisley Underground movement (The Rain Parade, The Dream Syndicate, The Three O'Clock), it's a song writer Brandon Graham envisions being played by DJ friends at local psych club nights. Like The Creation, the band uses a bow on some of the guitars to create an especially unmistakable psychedelic sound. A 12-string Rickenbacker overdub on the bridge is evidence of Brandon's immersion in a massive book on The Byrds (especially their 1965-68 heyday) while making the song.

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

Musically inspired by the crunchy, Revolver-esque ‘60s UK psych that melts your head with melody, the song draws inspiration from July, The Factory, Tomorrow and, naturally, The Beatles. Band leader Dylan Gardner plays all instruments on the song, with a vocal sung through a telephone mic, which lends a Leslie-style effect reminiscent of those on the legendary July album. A Rickenbacker bass provides a quintessential driving thud, while the drums were inspired by Ringo’s on Rain. After writing the guitar parts, Dylan learned them backwards on his Gibson SG, then reversed the recordings to achieve the desired psychedelic volume swell. A love song at heart, She Moves The Sky exalts a love so powerful it shifts the universe itself, controlling everything from the wind to the gravitational pull of the tides — and even time and the sky itself. The riff on Prisoner Cloud came during a sound check at one of Communicant’s last live shows before the pandemic of 2020 put life on hold. Immediately grabbing onto a vibe inspired by the fuzzed out energy of Kick Me by Ray Columbus (a 45 in Dylan’s DJ set), the song took form with a chorus melody reminiscent of The Creation and The Fleur De Lys. The result is decidedly more contemporary, however, with a Ty Segall-like appeal. The lyrics are pure Lonersville, with a hilarious sense of defeatism that conveys the idea of living like a prisoner in a cage in the sky, looking down at all the different loves one can sabotage without even trying.

Encompassing a new vision of the legendary sound of the 1960s, while both songs also reflect the innovative songcraft of the pioneers of the psychedelic genre, including The Beatles, Love, and Jefferson Airplane. With its driving organ and Morrison-ian baritone, Fire also evokes The Doors and Iron Butterfly, while What You See integrates a jangly, 12-string guitar and desert rock vibes that reflect the dreamy West Coast vibe of The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield. Fire delves into the deep sense of something vital missing from our lives, and the purification that comes with the revelation of the soul’s true identity. We are in darkness so that we can understand the meaning of Light and Truth, lighting the path of our way back to finding our true nature.

Add to Cart Coming Soon Sold out Currently not available Not Enough Coins

Employing a gently swept tamboura and sitar played according to the traditional Hindustani raga aesthetics, with a catchy riff on choruses, Diamond Queen is inspired by traditional Hindustani short compositions, known as gat. It represents the gift of plurality received from the deity of dawn, Usha, to mankind. Given Usha’s dawns are rich and radiant, shiny guitar tones are mixed with the traditional instrumentation, adding ornamented arpeggios of 12-string Rickenbacker (on the right) and an edgy Telecaster solo (on the left), both plugged on an Ac-30 Vox. The song is paced by a dancing bass line delivered by a Hofner violin bass and a roomy surf-rock drum beat, complemented by a ‘60s tambourine (on the left) and a tabla groove (on the right). The Majestic Purple Sky is a tribute to Surayana and dusk, and is inspired by the idea, from an Olivier Messiaen interview, that birds sing much better at dusk, creating a choir that reflects the beautiful red-orange-purple colors of the sky during that short but intense period of time. After the grand finale, strings and vocal choir sing a unison melody representing the slow motion color change that closes the twilight.

Ballad of a Liar is a personal homage to The Backdoor Society’s favorite Dutch Beat band, The Outsiders, and their unforgettable frontman Wally Tax. The song is strongly inspired by The Outsiders’ classic Touch. Totally analog mastered, with both songs written during the same recording sessions as the band’s first LP; they were left unfinished until Paolo Apollo Negri’s organ gave them the essential Hammond-driven garage-psych element they needed.
