Various: Psychedelica Vol.1 + Vol. 2 + Vol. 3 + Vol. 4 + Vol. 5

 

THE STEVENSON RANCH DAVIDIANS

Northern Star
is a record label dedicated to independent and underground sounds.
We’re known for our Psychedelica compilation series and infamous Northern Star Weekenders. Kicking against the pricks since 2006!

THEIR HEARTS WERE FULL OF SPRING

"Coming across something like a modern day Nuggets series, Psychedelica collects all kind of psychedelia, jam-packs two CDs full of the stuff and walks away, leaving fans of the genre with a treasure trove of spaced out sounds to discover." NORMAN RECORDS

THE  TELESCOPES

"Another year, another mammoth Psychedelica compilation bursting at the seams with impressive new discoveries courtesy of tried and trusted London imprint Northern Star. Psychedelica 5 contains something for anyone with any interest in psychedelic, shoegaze, noise or even just guitar music in general. Northern Star are onto another winner here." DROWNED IN SOUND

ASTEROID #4

New nuggets for the enlightened… breathtaking perfection” 4/5 Stars. UNCUT

THE  FLOWERS  OF  HELL

"The flower generations genre of choice has just got motorcycle sexy." NME

GOD  IS  AN  ASTRONAUT

"The series showcases an impressive range of bands... big things could be in store for the hallucinogen hordes. 8/10" CLASH

THE  DOLLY  ROCKER  MOVEMENT

"A post Primal Scream ride on the good ship psychedelia." MOJO


"Northern Star is fast gaining a reputation as being one of the leading exponents in unleashing new, noise based pop onto an unsuspecting but rapidly increasing audience." DROWNED IN SOUND

THE  DECEMBER  SOUND

“You emerge feeling like you’ve woken up in the wrong century but its good dope.” 4/5 Stars." THE INDEPENDENT

THE  BLACK  ANGELS

“Brit-based Northern Star Records has compiled this set with impeccable judgement.” GUITAR MAGAZINE

THE  BRIAN  JONESTOWN  MASSACRE

"Another superbly eclectic offering of psychedelic sounds from across the globe... this is a must for lovers of this genre. 5/5" REVERB

BLACK  NITE  CRASH

“Runs the gamut from pioneers to more established acts and to rising stars. Unique in its own right!” BILLBOARD


“The best new psychedelic and experimental indie acts… if My Bloody Valentine and The Brian Jonestown Massacre set your pulse racing, then this offers a unique opportunity to discover new bands, a one off showcase of every rising talent out there.” ROCK ‘N’ REEL

  1. Hi Kostas, it's me again Viking from Germany. Another exquisit Post from You. You're a Box of Treasure. Many thank's for this. Grüße an Josef, ich hoffe du hast dich von dem Schock erholt und verlässt bald deinen Ivory Tower.

  2. Thanks Anonymous from Germany ! I didn't really want to write anything more, but when someone speaks to me personally i can't help it. Yes, the Trump election was a shock for me. Simply terrible. Not that i'm a friend of the Democrats, but i'd rather have them on the ass than the Republicans on their face. What should you do ? There is no alternative. That's just how the USA is. I have also deleted my profile in the meantime. Apropo profile: what is the typical profile of a Trump voter ? Live from electricity. Pray, fuck and die and that's all they do.
    Of course i will continue to follow this wonderful blog. There's a lot that could be said about this beautiful new entry...
