A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist The Warlocks

  • The Warlocks

Swiping a name used by Grateful Dead during its days playing Ken Kesey’s acid parties, The Warlocks cycle through all phases of psychedelia’s past, from California jam fests to New York freak-outs to Krautrock head trips. Though they peaked early with their mind-blowing 2001 debut, Rise And Fall, The Warlocks are still pumping out serviceable psych-rock with 2007’s Heavy Deavy Skull Lover and the molasses-sludgy 2009 album The Mirror Explodes, which lays down thick layers of My Bloody Valentine atmosphere in a palpable haze.
