Space Rock: Get higher, go deeper. The home of acid-fueled psych and pulsating kosmische music.

r/SpaceRock

From Wikipedia: [Space Rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_rock) is a rock music genre characterized by loose and lengthy song structures centered on instrumental textures that typically produce a hypnotic, otherworldly sound.[1] It may feature distorted and reverberation-laden guitars, minimal drumming, languid vocals, synthesizers and lyrical themes of outer space and science fiction.

Rules:

Post songs that are face-melting, mind-blowing, and which contain a heavy dose of acid-fueled anxiety with consciousness expanding, psychedelic, & moody interludes. Get weird. Get real weird.
Submitted songs should contain some form of whooshing oscillations (think Moog), dripping, delayed vocals, and reverb drenched insanity. If the song contains all three of those criteria it is probably Space Rock.
