If Shpongle is a mind-bending trip through consciousness, Hoopy Frood is a delightful celebration of life. Hoopy Frood, you might have never heard of them but after this release you will have. Lyrically, it's something rather yogurt-weavy, but pleasant: Psychology is best described as Small Faces meets Twin Peaks meets Enigma with a sprinkling of semi-flamenco Muppet Show yup, I told you it was psychedelic. I feel they have chucked Pink Floyd, Fun Loving Criminals and Enigma into a bucket and pulled out one of the most outstandingly pleasant albums of the year.

Not the sort of skid row power chord monstrosity to infect a lot of "dance floor stormers. It works well for the album and helps set a different type of mood. Suffice to say I am still blown away every time I hear it. Like Shpongle and Ozric Tentacles before them, Hoopy Frood has a wonderful gift for making beautiful, organic and fun pieces of music out of a diverse range of influences.
Bridging the gap between progressive rock and psy-chill, it's not going to be to everybody's tastes but for certain members of the psy community, this could be a bit of a gem. Finally female voices chant over these sounds as it psychohaut out. If Shpongle is a mind-bending trip through consciousness, Hoopy Frood is a delightful celebration of life. I hope you do, too. This album is totally up my street - I really can't recommend it enough.
I say - WOW!!!!!! I feel they have chucked Pink Floyd, Fun Loving Criminals and Enigma into a bucket and pulled out one of the most outstandingly pshchonaut albums of the year.
Psychonaut
Psyreviews Psychonaut "We suspect the work of hippies …" Hoopy Frood is the sort of music you might stumble across by accident at a festival. Hoopy Frood, a collection of genuine musicians, who know how to play most well known instruments and to create from these a rainbow of melody and sounds.
Mushroom Magazine Psychonaut "They open in us deep emotions and hidden thoughts Sometimes synthetically, sometimes acoustically they bring us the supplest ambiente.
If you're new to the psychedelic ambient genre, this is as good as any of an album to start with.
Haze is a real tickler: Unlike most psychedelic ambient albums, Psychonaut eschews foreign chants and Terrence McKenna samples in favor of clean trance-style vocals. Psychology is best described as Small Faces meets Twin Peaks meets Enigma with a sprinkling of semi-flamenco Muppet Show yup, I told you it was psychedelic.
You'll find yourself moved through a range of emotions as you listen to Psychonaut, a range as wide as the number of influences. Closing Track Friends is a nice guitar-led ending, a bit like an acoustic Jimmy Page or how's this for an obscure reference WG Snuffy Walden, who composed the Thirty-something soundtrack.

Every once in a while something extra special comes along, for some of us - this is such a time. The album tells the story of a girl psyhconaut Indigo who is destined to change the world via the th Hokpy theory with each track telling us the story of her journey to enlightenment. And unlike most albums in the psychedelic ambient genre, Psychonaut manages not to sound like "Shpongle lite" and instead forge their own sound. I'm not really sure what it's got going for it, I'm not qualified to say how good or bad the musicianship is or how technically good it is, but the way this album has been constructed is, for me, as effective and impressive as I found Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and I've never grown psycgonaut of that.
Hoopy Frood is the sort of music you might stumble across by accident at a festival. Sequence kicks off with circular, guitar-led chillage; and a woohoo is in order "woohoo!
Dreamy vocals sit deep in the mix which help balance the feel of the music. If you enjoy a diverse range psychnaut styles, you'll enjoy Psychonaut. Lyrically, it's something rather yogurt-weavy, but pleasant: Definetley worth checking out if you are a chill-out lover looking psuchonaut something heart warming and less electric than a lot of the releases out there.
Beautiful guitar mixed with the occasional drumbeat leads into fun-sounding keyboard, which then turns into a haunting piano, and back to the guitar and keyboard. They are psychedelic and occasionally remind you of the pacey style 70's with modern pop.
Psychonaut | Hoopy Frood
The music is very positive and light, full of playful riffs and melodies, with that start dreamy and fragile and then build up into fully danceable chill out.
Hard copies of Psychonaut are hard to come by, but you can find this album easily in the iTunes Store. Psychedelic ambient meets Pink Floyd.
