VA - Hippiedelic (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

HIPPIEDELIC

VA - Hippiedelic (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

Step gently into the world of HIPPIEDELIC, where the air is thick with incense and the grooves shimmer like heatwaves on a desert road. This set, sprawling, mysterious, and lovingly curated, traces the outer edges of psychedelic folk, cosmic soul, and acid-laced funk, with an eye for the rare and the radiant. These aren’t the hits you’ve heard a hundred times. They’re the forgotten frequencies, private press laments, regional soul experiments, and pastoral psych reveries that flickered briefly before vanishing into obscurity.

The vibe is warm, woozy, and deeply human. You’ll hear voices that sound like they were recorded in candlelit basements, guitars that ripple like pond water, and rhythms that pulse with spiritual urgency. Some tracks come from artists who pressed fewer than 100 copies, vanishing into crates and closets until now. Others were buried on long-lost compilations or issued on labels that folded before the ink dried. Each one is a portal, to communes, coffeehouses, and cosmic jam sessions where genre boundaries dissolved and emotion took the lead.

To be HIPPIEDELIC is to embrace the swirl, where folk meets funk, where jazz flirts with fuzz, and where sincerity is wrapped in echo. It’s not just a sound, it’s a feeling, barefoot and sun-dazed, but never naïve. These songs carry the weight of introspection, the joy of sonic experimentation, and the thrill of discovery.

What matters is the journey. Expect no repeats, no filler, and no compromises. Just rare, resonant music that deserves to be heard again, on your terms, in your space, with your ears wide open. (B)

Cheers to the dig. The lantern’s lit. Let’s follow the trail.
