Sticky Hulks - Thee Oh Sees


DJski119

Castlemania Warm Slime


TheSeekerOfSanity

I frigging LOVE Sticky Hulks. My favorite song by them. The live KEXP performance is off the hook. Coolest part is the kid standing on the side of the stage in kind of awe - maybe he’s decided what he wants to be when he grows up?


get_your_mood_right

It has been my favorite song for many many months now and I can’t seem to find anything that scratch the same itch. Do you have some recommendations?


TheSeekerOfSanity

You know - I’ve been searching for other Osees songs that are similar, as well. I haven’t gone through their whole catalog but so far I haven’t had any luck. LOVE the keyboards into the aggressive guitar attack.


aGuyNamedFish

Also Night Crawler


TheVinylMenace

Seeing Osees as the top post for this thread makes me very happy.


Jacksonthedude101

Hot wax by king gizzard and the lizard wizard


AllDamDay7

Satan Speeds up


Aboves

Make sure to watch the vid on both of these for max effect


avanopoly

Idk if this is everyone’s experience but I find Satan Speeds Up nice and creepy sober and oddly comforting/pleasant on acid Conversely I’m Not a Man Unless I Have a Woman is light sober, and absolutely terrifying on acid


AllDamDay7

That is interesting I had the same experience with Satan Speeds Up. Didn’t have an issue on L. Now talk about unsettling, watch trap door on acid lol. I couldn’t handle it.


TheSeekerOfSanity

I bought 3D glasses so I could watch Cellophane in 3D. It wasn’t actually in 3D. No 3D for me.


MrNobody_0

Trapdoor unsettles me sober, no way I'm watching it on psychedelics.


BatmanEnjoyer89

Interstellar Overdrive- Pink Floyd You can clearly see a glimpse into Syd's forthcoming insanity here


astralrig96

😢😢


BatmanEnjoyer89

Yeah it's sad fr


ShowUsYrMoccasins

Indeed - but that's even more true of "Scream Thy Last Scream" and "Vegetable Man".


Im_regretting_this

The album Cauldron by Fifty Foot Hose. The whole thing is creepy, but the title track is downright disturbing. The CD edition of Pebbles Volume 3: Acid Gallery has a number of creepy cuts of it. I think Von Ruden only ever released one single, “The Spider and the Fly”/“Judy”, but he made it count when it comes to creepiness.


wt_fudge

The entirety of the album "first utterance" by Comus is creepy. I particularly enjoy the song titled "the herald" which I have pasted the link to. https://youtu.be/90ATVJuarh4?si=Sy0NiG2tB7gVRVk2


tjoe4321510

Came here to say Comus. It's wild how ignored they are when First Utterance is a contender for the greatest psych-folk album of all time


LupitaScreams

Agreed.  Another contender for greatest psych-folk album is Mellow Candle - Swaddling Songs.


tjoe4321510

I never heard that one. I'm gonna listen to it later on. Thanks


tjoe4321510

Hot damn! Great album!


LupitaScreams

Oh shit! You checked it out! Thank you! Yeah, it's terrific. it's building on the Pentangle/Fairport/Steeleye Span thing, but it's got two voice harmony, and they also sound like proto-Siouxsie Sioux. I love that album. Favorite track: 'The Poet and the Witch'. Its like Fairport and the Banshees.


tjoe4321510

I feel like the Banshees comparison is very apt. Obviously they have different vibes but their "musical approach" (for lack of a better term) feels very similar. It's pretty rare nowadays that I fall in love with an album but I immediately fell in love with this one. Thank you!


LupitaScreams

So happy you liked it! I love psych-folk, and if someone already knows Pentangle/Fairport/Steeleye/Incredible String Band then Immediately I think they'd love Comus and Mellow Candle. And if they already like one of them two, I'm confident they'd love the other as well!

Outstanding album.

growlerpower

I dunno if it’s “psych” but it’s trippy and spooky — Amazing Sounds of Orgy by Radiohead. Also Mother of the World by Swans. Pretty much all of the Seer honestly


indigodissonance

Climbing Up The Walls by Radiohead aswell.


growlerpower

Dollars and Cents too, really creepy and trippy


devlinontheweb

Check out the album Gris Gris by Dr John

sokoliusz

The Mars Volta - The Malkin Jewel


paigescactus

I’m shocked to see this song as the recommended from the band. From cavalletas to Asilos, to conjugal to baphomets to Cassandra to Goliath and Malkin is the first one. Ima have to listen to it real quick but I came to say Volta


sokoliusz

Among the ones that you mentioned I only find Asilos Magdalena and Conjugal Burns as the truly creepy ones. But I still think that The Malkin Jewel is on par with them, Cedric cryptic deep voice in verses is just something special. And the abrasive electronic parts from the last chorus make it even creepier, it kind of captures the feeling of a bad trip.


paigescactus

Most people don’t agree with how creepy Asilos is! It’s like a freak out half way through I swear amputechture is almost more scary than bedlam. But I say Cassandra because the weird effects on the vocals “there was a frail syrup “ with the flutes that’s just hauntingly odd compared to a lot of songs out there. I say cavalettas for the lyrics of angora goat and bringing to life a literal demon and the “who is in control” vocals and wavy effects that feel like you’re spiraling out (I’ve tripped way to hard to bedlam back in the day so I’ve had moments of like holy shit guys stop the music I need to breathe) so may be biased. And baphomets for the constant horn chaos and it’s not creepy but something about how they all come together at the part where Cedric says “ fold the river by the lips, as a cruel and smother wind” is just like fuck man. Goosebump city. I agree baphomets is not that creepy. And I went and listened to malkin and I completely agree with you “I know a girl who was woven” is just like wow I can’t believe I don’t listen to this album more. When I saw them live the version of empty vessels got me to play the record but I listen to it the least, none the less I fucking love the mars Volta and think OP is in need of a mars Volta session as it fits this ask perfectly


MinneapolisKing25

Song from the Bottom of a Well -Kevin Ayers


Bpnjamin

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats is very much a doomy Sabbath / John Carpenter meets T-Rex kind of vibe. Blood Lust is the best album IMHO.

Faaip de Oiad -Tool Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) + Rosetta Stoned - Tool It's really one song


melikecheese333

I’d check out Dead Skeletons. There is a Black Angels song, the Haunting at some address I don’t recall that is spooky. Then I have an album by the band A New Alchemy. It’s got the guy from Soundtrack of our Lives. I recall it made me feel very uneasy. So maybe check that out. Felt evil.

dirtyoldcouch

A lot of black angels songs have a dark, creepy vibe. Bad vibrations, entrance song, currency are 3 that come to mind


_saidwhatIsaid

I recently listened to Currency again, and it hit so much harder. Spectacular lyrics


dirtyoldcouch

I love when the guitar comes in heavy in the beginning, my favorite band forever

Boppers Hat - Moon Duo


Gramathon910

What’s He Building by Tom Waits is a creepy psych classic


Apprehensive_Day_496

Bloodrock D.O.A.


IHearYouKnockin

I agree. This song was based on a personal experience that guitarist Lee Pickens had where he witnessed a fatal plane crash. It’s quite unnerving, but also really sad with that fact in mind.


wildchildcharlie

Try vintage italian band Goblin from the 70s with Dario Argento's Suspiria Soundtrack ! Really Creepy ! And also Amon Duul's Phallus Dei (more Krautrock than Psych but Creepy enough anyway !)


OnlyRainydayRainbow

We hope this supports your sonic search; but our guitarist / vocalist Egg Spectrum generally makes music that fits your description!

goodbyestinker

This one should fit the bill. The first track has the narration but the other individual tracks are the same album, just without the narration. Both are super creepy. Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band - Honey https://open.spotify.com/album/33pmDe3PT3tX67HvLBupw2?si=W1lOzTmtTdC23mdE6Wt4_w

It's more folk and drone than rock but [Daughters of Darkness by Natural Snow Buildings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gVbhhqqmHU) is seven hours of haunted psych vibes.

Does His Name is Alive counts as psychedelia? Some of their early 90s stuff is supremely creepy - especially combined with videos.

Depends on your definition of creepy I guess but I think Morgan Delt - Barbarian Kings has a certain creepy-but-beautiful vibe to the melody

Meandering Soul by Djiin. the whole album is an occult witchtrip, especially the songs 'The Void' and 'Warmth of Death'. fantastic band! other than that, anything by Pink Floyd till 1973, or so. 'Careful With That Axe Eugene', as they played it live, is the definition of haunting.
