Shoegaze Psychedelic Rock Psychedelic Folk

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Japan became the birthplace of a distinctive and intense form of psychedelic music, emerging from the underground scene and centred around pioneering labels like PSF Records. This movement was marked by a raw, dissonant, and fuzzed-out sound that combined elements of noise, free jazz, and traditional psychedelic rock.

This two hour show documents the sounds of several key bands that played a significant role in shaping this unique musical landscape such as Fushitsuha, Les Rallizes De Nudes, Shizuka, Acid Mothers Temple and more.
