Neo-psychedelic is a broad term used to describe groups with overt psychedelic influences. Much like traditional psychedelia, neo-psychedelia is associated with experimental and jam-oriented music.[1]Many modern bands incorporate elements of traditional psychedelia into their music, such as the Comets on Fire or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. In addition, many jam bands, like Umphrey's McGee, Phish, Ozric Tentacles, and Rusted Root, play psychedelia-influenced music. Other bands, like Kwisp, create a new unique psychedelic sound. Bands such as Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, and Ayreon touch upon Neo-psychedelic music, while applying it to progressive music. Modern Jazz groups such as Medeski Martin & Wood are a good example of Neo-psychedelia. Live performances are altered dramatically by large sections of improvisation.
