A Child’s Garden of J-Psych 🇯🇵 💊 🎸

Dedicated to the memory of Yuya Uchida. An eclectic mix of eighteen mind-expanding songs—2 full hours of assorted and awesome Japanese psychedelic rock music—conveniently divided into 2 ~hour-long parts. Featuring the Flower Travellin’ Band, Ghost, Sundays & Cybele, Acid Mothers Temple, Kikagaku Moyo, White Heaven, High Rise, the Mops, and more!

Apologies to Tadanori Yokoo, whose 1973 print “There is no escape; You too shake sink into hell” forms the basis of our cover art animation; Trip Advisor.com user David S, Ishirō Honda and all the creators of the 1968 film Destroy All Monsters for photos (Godzilla Head & Monsters) used in the promotional video below; and Robert Louis Stevenson.
