Modern black american music. The Psycodelics want you to Be Kind and Get Down. The group from Charleston brew a potent funk rock distilled with disco, jazz and blues, saturated by dancing bass lines, boom-bap grooves and lush harmonies. “The Psycodelics don’t sound like anything that’s coming out of here, even though it is familiar,” frontman Cam Wescott told the Charleston City Paper. “You can hear all the influences — but it’s not an imitation, it’s an innovation. We’re trying to take the sounds and ideas musically from back in the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and 2000s — everything up until now — and put it all together.
