What is the best psych-pop-rock band recording today? Where can I see or hear them?

a few years ago I woulda said the Lilys. Now I'm not so sure.

Wish I had a good answer for this. Lotsa poppy psychedelic electronica, folk, even metal. But not many folks making seriously psychedelic POP music with rock tools.

Suppose a lot of people would mention The Flaming Lips -- both pop and legitimately popular, and they're certainly psychedelic. But I haven't liked anything they've done in years, so it's hard for me to call 'em the "best".

Dungen, Mew, Gris Gris, Sereena Maneesh (both those last two depending on the next one).

yeah I was gonna say Gris Gris too, but they have only one or two moments I would genuinely call "pop".

They are great though.

Dungen. Close thread. Re-open it. Thank God for Lily Allen's elbows. Cloase thread again.

I've been pretty keenly interested in psych pop lately:

With apologies, taking care of family with health issues, work, redesigning site have taken away from the time I had to post here.
