United States of America


Formed by electronic composer/musician Joseph Byrd at UCLA in 1967, United States of America artfully blended psychedelic sounds with chamber music, electronic experimentation, and avant-garde rock n roll. Their self titled LP (1968) was their only release.
The two songs I've selected showcase their soft rock meanderings mixed with mesmerizing tape and vocal effects and a calmer touch of psychedelia.
"Love Song for the Dead Che"

"Cloud Song"
