The Sufis: Reviving Psychedelic Rock
Here’s a band for you to check out. Coming straight out of what seems to be US’s rock music capital, Nashville, The Sufis is a breath of fresh psychedelic air (heheh, get it?), with organs reminiscent of The Doors and a melody style that weaves between The Beatles and Pink Floyd.
You hear their musical influences here and there, but that’s not to say that they don’t have a sound of their own. They do. And we think it’s pretty badass. We’d suggest listening to ‘Wake Up’ (which is a limited tape release under BurgerRecords), as the introduction song to The Sufis. Make sure you have some tissue handy though, because when the tremolo vocals kick in you’ll be creaming your pants. Here’s hoping to a psy revival.
You can head on over to their SoundCloud page to listen to more of The Sufis here. And if you want to keep up with them on Facebook, check them out here.

surely you jest?
Anyway, heard the soundcloud and it just reinforces my theory that adding organs/farfisa does not make a song automatically psychedelic. reminded me too much of yanks trying to be kula shaker, too steeped in retrograde sounds.
There’s much more to modern psychedelia. i can give you a lot of examples but google is your best friend.
oh our own backyard there is also a small but growing number of psych rock bands. so thats your next possible assignment?
