Psychedelic rock

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Psychedelic rock · Around 1966 and 1967, bands drew inspiration from Indian music, the classical avant-garde and LSD. You hear drones, modal sounds and studio effects; the Beatles used tape loops and sounds played backwards. San Francisco, with the Summer of Love of 1967, and London were the centres.

Listening

Listening tip. In White Rabbit, hear the march rhythm that keeps getting louder, with a Spanish, Phrygian sound.
