Afternoon of Acid Rain Floats on the Timeless Haze of Hallucinophonics’ Psychedelia
Trippy, hypnotic, and infused with a warm nostalgia, Afternoon of Acid Rain comes courtesy of Hallucinophonics, a London-based outfit existing at the nexus of consciousness and sound. Unfolding like a transcendent fever dream, the band's recent single bends and stretches like a 60s psychedelic classic. Sitting somewhere between Sgt. Pepper's and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and featuring a mesmerising Syd Barrett-esque transition, it's a tune that floats on a haze of timeless, kaleidoscopic textures.
Exploring themes of identity, transcendence, and the search for universal belonging, Afternoon of Acid Rain moves between playful whimsy and profound introspection. A sonic embrace that wraps you up and invites you to surrender to the absurd, the track's dreamlike qualities carry you effortlessly through its surreal soundscape.
Representing a bold new chapter in psychedelic music, Hallucinophonics are an outfit worth keeping a seriously close eye (and ear) on. Sure, they're inspired by the likes of Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Porcupine Tree and many others - but there's a definite distinctiveness to their sound.
They've also delivered a wonderfully trippy music video to accompany Afternoon of Acid Rain, and we are honoured to share it with you today!
