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)
