The Luck of Eden Hall is a contemporary psychedelic band with a great sound and style. What I liked especially about their clip is the way it mixes 60′s psychedelia visual style with more contemporary visuals. Enjoy.

19 FebDid you see that cat around 1:20? There was a white cat, alright…

Psychedelic Beyonce – Countdown
13 FebAfter we’ve had a psychedelic Lady Gaga, a psychedelic Rihanna, and a psychedelic Keisha, last October Beyonce came out with a new video clip full of exubertantly flashy colors and a very psychedelically evocative style.
“Pon De Floor” by Major Lazer
12 FebThis is outrageous, preposterous, decadent, a case of moral decline and sooo not safe to watch at work. This is what became of those children that you forgot to pick up at the kindergarten… sixteen years ago. What else can I say to make you watch it? I promise: it will blow your mind! and your ass might follow…

Cocorosie- By Your Side
10 FebI’ve posted before cocorosie videos, and I’ll probably have to post some more in the future. Their music, lyrics and videos are always interesting and psychedelic.
Matthew Dear vs. Morgan Beringer
7 Feb
Morgan Beringer visualizes the music of Matthew Dear with amazing results. Apparently shots of liquid were mixed/layered with themselves and other footage using masks. Even the emboss filter effect works in this, it’s like liquid frost on a surface.
The Sparkling Darkness of “Vessel” by Zola Jesus
5 FebIt is not always easy to tell the difference between psychedelic and surreal. Both aesthetics are obsessed with dreams and surfaces and the dissolving ego, both are very playful. Usually – not always – you will find a lot more light and color in psychedelic art. On the other hand it tends to get closer to the surreal as soon as darker tones are struck.
This is what makes this clip interesting. It is genuinely dark and psychedelic. Until the moth in the final seconds it avoids symbolism and sticks to the sparkling manifold of the surface. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more of this merging of psychedelic and gothic aesthetics in the future.
The Little Girl and the Squid
4 FebI liked the aesthetics and feel of this one, done by Will Chason based on two parts out of a rock opera by his band “The Dutchmen”.
Twentytwohundred by Syntaks
3 Feb
From the video description: “Syntaks’ Jakob Skott created this video for the song “Twentytwohundred” (from his group’s full-length Ylajali), in which the parallels between the Danish artist’s visual and aural sensibilities are on full display. Warm, saturated colors and dreamy, abstract imagery fill the clip with a sense of nostalgic wonder, echoing the music’s romantic mingling of the real and unreal.”
