10 Modern Albums That Prove Psychedelia Is Alive And Well

10. Tame Impala - Lonerism

The new Tame Impala album might be their best yet, but their second album from 2012 is their most psychedelic. Kevin Parker has easily proven himself to be one of the most interesting voices in modern music, and this record cements it as fact. 

His falsetto dancing above his crunchy, fluid guitar playing is a dream. And while the album carries the sound of a work that may ramble, or indulge in one too many guitar solos, it comes off as so perfectly polished. No hook is wasted, every chorus hits - it's immaculate. 

This gorgeous ode to a solitary lifestyle goes beyond the pure feeling of their first album to something so much more immediate. The record is so sunny at points it threatens to burn up while listening to it. 

Ultimately, it achieves a forward thinking take on psychedelia by offering something infinitely more interesting than the genre's first wave. Lonerism destroys it.
