Psychedelic pop is a psychedelic musical style inspired by the sounds of psychedelic folk and psychedelic rock, but applied to a pop music setting. It reached its peak during the late 1960s, declining rapidly in the early 1970s.
It originates from the 1960's when the Beach Boys Brian Wilson began to experiment with psychedelic drugs, eventually resulting in their album Pet Sounds which is credited for sparking a psychedelic pop revolution. Before Psychedelic Pop, Psychedelic Rock had existed mainly among garage bands, however Pet Sounds had been the inspires mainstream pop acts to take part in the psychedelic pop culture.
Psychedelic Pop is still prevalent today through bands such as Tame Impala who's music is heavily influenced by Psychedelic Rock from the late 60's and early 70's. Tame Impala use a number of effects with their music including, phasing, delay, reverb and fuzz.

My artist Polly Howe also uses the same techniques in her music and they all include a number of similar effects which she adds when editing the track together. I really like her music and the genre psychedelic pop because of its air of escapism within the music. Due to the fact that she is an unsigned artist, I looked at the record label that Tame Impala are signed to and I decided to use the record label 'Fiction' that they are signed to. It is a British record label founded in 1978. It is owned by Universal Music Group and is based in the UK. I decided that because of the nature of Polly's music and her heavy indie influence, she would fit in well with this record company.
