Herb Lore

Here's some stark and gray psych folk from Brooklyn project Herb Lore.  New album "Mysticism" came together during the artist's trips through the Pacific Northwest and Canada's eastern coast.  The album is a sprawling mix of folk, drone, field recordings, and hypnotic tones, a search for some kind of greater inner tranquility.  Check out "Interrupted Meditation" below and grab the cassette here from Inner Islands.

Skyminds

Here's a gentle and soothing mix of electronic folk and psych from Oakland duo Skywinds to calm the nerves and ease the mind.  "Wasser" plays like a meditation tape, tranquil bliss in harmony with the universe.  Check it out below and pre-order the "Echoes on the Shore" cassette here from Inner Islands.

Channelers

Oakland based artist Sean Conrad makes music as Channelers, and his latest release, "Another Entrance," finds him in meditative, acoustic waters creating instrumental, devotionals inspired by '60s British folk.  Check out "Serpent in the Sky" below and pre-order the LP here from Inner Islands.
