Chilean Psych South American city Santiago is steeped in history. With a population of more than 8 million people, a rich array of 19th century neoclassical architecture sits beautifully on the banks of the fast-flowing Mapocho river, surrounded on all sides by the formidable Andes Mountains. It’s a stunning location, founded six centuries earlier by Spanish conquistadors, bringing with them a new language for the native Picunches to learn and a wide range of new, hyper-infectious diseases to spread around. Over the centuries, this unique city has been destroyed, rebuilt, and destroyed again (by both war and natural disaster). By the early 20th century, the Spanish yolk had been replaced by a new, independent Chile, along with banks, law and order, commerce, and a population explosion of epic proportions. But Chile has had its dark days too – none more so than the military coup of 1973 and the arrival of general Pinochet and The Mothers of the Disappeared. But it now boasts a democratic republic; its multi-party system offering hope for a proud, optimistic, and extremely artistic population. It’s from this open cultural positivity that the Santiago neo-psych movement has blossomed over recent years. Its music is hugely innovative, taking inspiration from European and north American garage and psychedelia, whilst retaining its own unique South American identity. This Deep Dive is a heady mix of the best Chilean Psych and one that Crispy is delighted to share with you. Artists include The Holydrug Couple, Follakzoid, La Hell Gang, Kayros and Chicos de Nazca.
