The Chemistry Set - Pink Felt Trip (2022) [Hi-Res]

London-based cult band Chemistry Set, a veteran of the neo-psychedelic scene, has released its 35th-anniversary album, Pink Felt Trip. Set for vinyl release on June 5th, the album is acclaimed for diverging from traditional psychedelic rock clichés. The record is characterized by complex song structures that frequently shift in tempo and mood, ranging from heavy distortion and apocalyptic imagery to mellow melodies and pop elements.

The album features significant genre diversity, incorporating elements of grunge, cabaret, raga rock, and psychedelic country. Key tracks include the title song "Pink Felt Trip," which carries anti-war themes, the increasingly anxious "The Witch," and the eclectic "Psychotronic Man." The work demonstrates the band's ability to evolve while avoiding the mere rehashing of established blues and raga formulas, marking the album as a unique entry in modern psychedelia.
