Rockfour – Time Machine

9 Jul

Israeli rock group Rockfour has had a long fledged flirt with psychedelic elements. Their albums show a great amount of nostalgia to the sixties and their songs often sound like attempts to mimic the musical style of the sixties (Which is both fun, as well as at other times somewhat disappointing). Likewise, the videoclip for Rockfour’s time machine is a contemporary attempt to mimic the aesthetics of the psychedelic videoclip of the late sixities and early seventies (While making some homage to 1950’s sci-fi films). The result is a pretty accurate mimesis which blends these old motives in a fun way.

Shtusim

13 May

This Israeli commercial for yogurt really blew my head off, maybe because I was in the right state of consciousness when I first saw it.
Highly commercialized, highly silly and definitely highly psychedelic. Of course, don’t miss the Amanita Muscaria mushroom shaped house which the kid drives by on his lovely yogurt train.

Shmulik Krauss – Shishi Cham

10 May

A psychedelic video to a song about the wonders of Hash written in the early 70’s by Israeli singer Shmulik Krauss. This song is a part of the album “Kraus Vs. State of Israel” which Kraus wrote from jail. The clip was banned for screening in Israeli TV.
