10 Modern Albums That Prove Psychedelia Is Alive And Well

Ty Segall's brand of sun-soaked garage rock reached its psychedelic peak with last year's massive Manipulator. The album's fuzzy, tripped out guitar solos certainly cement it as a high point of neo-psychedelia if its artwork and accompanying music videos have not done their job. As with a great deal of other psychedelic bands, there is a great concern over our interaction with new technology that belongs to the album's themes. 

From the plodding organ riff of the opening track, the record rockets forward through a paranoid glam landscape. Segall's seething falsetto remains consistent as ever. Grimy guitars layer over top of percussive acoustics as he sings of a fear of surveillance and relationships with people that are too reliant on their phones.

As with many of his fellow garage-rock revivalists, a major goal of Segall's output is to have some genuine fun. And this album, despite its paranoia, still manages to be a great time. He has pulled off an effortless cool with every album in his prolific discography and this might be his coolest.
