Tame impala let it happen guitar turial10/29/2023 ![]() ![]() At any point since the early 80s, you could expect to find someone doing something audibly in thrall to the soundtrack of the summer of love: from Temples to Toy, there’s certainly a lot of it about at the moment. There’s another volume to be written about psychedelia’s curious afterlife: the fact that a genre assumed to be a fad, inexorably linked with a moment in time and a fleeting burst of druggy utopianism, turned out to be anything but. But it ends around 1971, as psychedelia calcified into prog and the pop artists who’d sung of their minds growing up to the sky on Top of the Pops found themselves back on the cabaret circuit. The work of the academic Rob Chapman, it is a fantastic, exhaustive history of the genre: comprehensive but gripping, packed with eye-opening period detail and with a brilliant analysis of everything from Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band to the oeuvre of the Crocheted Doughnut Ring. In a few weeks’ time, the book Psychedelia and Other Colours is due to be published.
