As the title of the thread suggests, I'm starting to get into some psychedelic/ambient/noise/downtempo stuff recently. Thus, I'm looking for suggestions as to good bands to check out.
I've already heard Animal Collective, Deerhunter, and MGMT. Are there any other very awesome bands I should be listening to? I'm up for anything ranging from instrumental electronica (sort of Holy Fuck-ish) to fuzzy noise rock (in the My Bloody Valentine style).
Thanksh.

Check out The Jesus and Mary Chain`s Psychocandy for a MBV type experience. Check out The Dirty Projectors for a more Animal Collective esque experience, with more of a traditional instrumentation, mind you.
I don`t know if you`ve heard Neutral Milk Hotel; very standard kind of folk-y stuff, although brilliant in its own right, with psychedelic lyrics. Their album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is among the best ever.

Would I make a mistake in suggesting The Mars Volta?

If you enjoy MGMT, Empire of the Sun is an excellent choice.

Holy. Balls.
I have been looking so long for some psybient, but had no idea what it was called, thus the closest I got was...well, Ray Lynch. :S
I do love Lynch, though.
Thank you.

I totally just read that as, "I'd hate to be the only black guy stuck using v1.4."

The quality of more recent Goldfrapp is questionable but you'd like Felt Mountain.=w= wrote:I love MassiVE Attack and Portishead, I would like Goldfrapp, oui?hairscapades wrote:Psybient:

Further noise recommendations:
Kevin Drumm - Sheer Hellish Miasma
Hijokaidan - Noise From Trading Card
Masonna - Ejaculation Generator
Also, if you are in any way shape or form interested in noise rock, Mainliner - Mellow Out is utterly essential.

Yay I'll be checking out Goldfrapp as soon as I get a chance. I think I may be in a situation similar to squibbles'.Kablizzy wrote:You'd love Goldfrapp. All three of those are favourites of mine.=w= wrote:I love MassiVE Attack and Portishead, I would like Goldfrapp, oui?
