A highly peculiar outlandish psychedelic video by ultra-orthodox Breslav Hasids singing about Jewish spiritual work but somehow also having some Hindu and Tao symbols flying nearby
Beautiful dreamy vibe on this video clip by Israeli group “The Shookiz”. I happened upon one of their shows one drunk Thursday night several weeks back and I can tell you they also give the best shows.
The current king of Israeli psychedelia is Gon Ben Ari. His clips might not have the familiar psychedelic style of lavish forms and colors, but he writes and sings brilliantly about mania, ptsd, liminal mental states, cannabis, psychedelics, and spiritual breakthrough. Ben Ari also published a brilliant psychedelic novel with strong autobiographical elements about his experiences with plant medicine and adventures in Kabbalah. For those of you who don’t speak Hebrew, hopefully his stuff gets translated sometime soon, because this is insane!
1960s Israeli psychedelic band, the Churchills, known abroad as Jericho Jones (name was changed for the international tours to avoid hurting the English people’s feelings), beautiful rendition of a Bach tune.
Beautiful psychedelics song and video by Josh Lauffer with Elijah Eskin, quoting some biblical quotes about rolling the perfumes of temple (read: smoking utensils)
