Hallucinophonics – Afternoon of Acid Rain
The song opens with 1960s-inspired classic rock sounds and amazing vocals that recall The Moody Blues, The Seeds’ psychedelic period and the broader countercultural sound of the era with a beautiful melancholy. The song has a nostalgic tone from the beginning that feels real rather than fake. Particularly unforgettable is the chorus, which strongly suggests that this song might have been produced in 1967 or 1968. Its retro beauty is further enhanced by the production’s adoption of a warm lo-fi tone that makes it feel like you’re listening to an old LP, with all its imperfections, spinning on a turntable. If you enjoy late-1960s psychedelia, you won’t be disappointed with this gem. The vibrating psychedelic environment inspires candle-lit late-night listening sessions, moments for thinking upon the past and silently awaiting what’s to come.
