Nice picks ! The greatest psych-pop record of the 2010's imho is the 2nd and last Oh No Ono album, Eggs. YES it's a 2009 album but who cares ? (it was issued in Europe & the rest o t w in 2010) (they're from Denmark) It's an absolute gem of a record, fusing ultra melodic pop with classical music, psychedelic textures, expansive instrumentation... there are hooks, twists and turns all over the place and it miraculously never loses its focus, consistency and efficiency. The production is INSANE. It makes the trippiest Flaming Lips tracks sound like the Ramones. I can't imagine this record being topped one day in this genre. I suggest you go listen to Helplessly Young, Miss Miss Moss, Eleanor Speaks or Icicles (to name a few) : you'll hear what I'm talking about 😊
The way you were about to announce your picks I could almost sense you were going to say them - specially jacco Gardner, paper mache dream balloon and dungen. Was hoping these 3 would make the list and so is so great to see them here. We have VERY similar tastes. Hope you do this again for the 2000s
Great top 5 picks! was wondering which Tame Impala album would be on here, haha. Here's my list: 1. Lonerism - Tame Impala 2. II - UMO 3. Tasmania - Pond 4. Centipede Hz - Animal Collective 5. The End of Comedy - Drugdealer 6. Paper Mache Dream Balloon - KGATLW 7. Less Ready To Go - Michael Nau 8. Self-Titled - The Nude Party 9: Sun Structures - Templates 10. Yours, Dreamily - The Arcs Honorable mention to Babe Rainbow, Dan Deacon, Sugar Candy Mountain, DJO. Wasn't sure if Foxygen's 21st Century Ambassadors, Andy Shauf's The Party, or The Lemon Twigs' Do Hollywood fit on the list haha. I've not listened to Dungen yet but I know I should 😬
We have quite a bit of crossover here. I forgot about Centipede Hz! Very underrated IMO. The Twigs just felt slightly outside this category for some reason, even though there's plenty of psychedelia in their DNA. Same for Andy Shauf. I'm not crazy about Foxygen, but I will dig into The Arcs & Michael Nau more because of your list. Dungen is simply a must. I'd start with Allas Sak, Ta Det Lugnt, and last year's album for a good sample of all the eras.
@@MattOLearyMusic love that Foxygen record, but it's the only one of theirs I ever return to haha. Michael Nau is great! Less Ready To Go is kinda a collaborative project between him, Scott McMicken, and another artist called Floating Action. They'd take turns playing different instruments for each of the songs and work out the most interesting parts. It's not my favorite album of his, but it has the most psychedelic elements and it's a lot of good vibes. I'll start on some Dungen today!
Love Syd Arthur, Edge of the Earth is definitely my favorite. Wish they made more albums. The drummer on Solitude is Bliss has a solo project and he just dropped a new album called Saturnia (GUM), you should do a review of it.
