The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - Vol. 2 (1967 US, Los Angeles) | Psych Rock | Vinyl Rip

Here’s my copy of Vol. 2 (Breaking Through) by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, released in 1967 on Reprise Records. The band was based in Los Angeles, California, and this was their second major-label LP. While their debut Part One hinted at weirdness, this one dives straight into it. It’s a heady mix of fuzz guitars, orchestral swells, and Markley’s spoken-word experiments. The production is bigger, the ideas bolder, and the mood swings between playful and paranoid. You can hear the group finding their identity somewhere between LA studio polish and underground freak-out. Lyrically it’s a time capsule of late 60s counterculture - half protest, half daydream - with surreal touches that make it stand out from other psych releases of the era. Ripped from my own mono vinyl copy. Standout tracks for me: Smell of Incense, Suppose They Give a War and No One Comes, and Transparent Day. I’ve also ripped their Where’s My Daddy? LP from 1969 - you can check that one out here: https://youtu.be/fA38yABQSaw 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn Similar bands: The United States of America, The Electric Prunes, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Lothar and the Hand People, and Sagittarius.
