Psychedelic Moods

“Psychedelic Moods” is The Deep’s debut album from 1966. Rusty Evans, who had originally been a rockabilly singer and a member of the Greenwich Village folk revival scene, was inspired by the San Francisco sound and their psychedelic posters to produce an album centered on the psychedelic experience. Evans pitched the idea to Mark Barkan, who accepted, leading to the formation of a studio-only group called The Deep, which included guitarist David Bromberg. Recording took place in a darkened studio while the group was under the influence of LSD. With the sessions becoming increasingly erratic, the drummer unexpectedly departed, but the instrumentals were complete so further drum tracks did not have to be recorded. Following the drummer’s exit, fuzz reverse guitar, chimes, and abnormal bullfrog sounds were overdubbed onto the tracks.
