TimeLord Michalis...Greek radio producer (since 1995), record reviewer, fanzine editor, concert organizer, record label owner, and analogue devotee—lives in the countryside near the mythical hideouts of Pan. A lifelong collector and music obsessive, he breathes vinyl and remains hopelessly, beautifully addicted to the psychedelic spirit of the 1960s with a mission in a never-ending quest for 60's Psychedelicism in today's world.
Five Sisters of the Cosmic Fuzz
Prologue - Introduction…
Back in the late ’60s, when psychedelia was supposedly a boys’ playground, a remarkable number of women were already bending the rules of the underground. All-female outfits like The Ace of Cups, The Daisy Chain, Goldie and the Gingerbreads, The Pleasure Seekers, The Liverbirds, The Feminine Complex, The Bittersweets and The Debutantes carved out their own space in the garage-psych continuum, while powerful frontwomen such as Grace Slick with Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, Dorothy Moskowitz in The United States of America, Nancy Blakeslee with Fifty Foot Hose, Barbara Hudson with Ultimate Spinach, Barbara Robison of The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Inga Rumpf with Frumpy, and Pattie Santos of It's a Beautiful Day proved that the psychedelic spirit was never limited by gender. Even within the anarchic UK underground orbit of The Deviants and the countercultural provocations of Mick Farren, women played an essential role in shaping the era’s sonic rebellion.
Fast-forward to the present and that spirit has not only survived — it has multiplied in wonderfully strange directions. A new generation of female-driven psychedelic explorers, from the cosmic mysticism of Second Oracle and the Nordic dream-folk of Siri Karlsson, to the ritualistic grooves of Kuunatic, the shadowy psychedelia of Rokurokubi, the haunting folkie-psych-punk of The New Eves, the hypnotic soundscapes of Calcuta, and the fierce desert-tinged vibrations of Sister Wives, are expanding the map once again. If the women of the ’60s opened the door, today’s artists are walking straight through it — armed with fuzz, mysticism, and a fearless psychedelic imagination.
Kuunatic
Ritual Psychedelia from the Planet Kuurandia
Among the most fascinating all-female psychedelic acts to emerge in recent years are Kuunatic, a Tokyo-based trio formed in 2016 by Fumie Kikuchi (keyboards, vocals), Yuko Araki (drums, vocals) and Shoko Yoshida (bass, vocals). Drawing from vastly different musical backgrounds, the three musicians have created a sound that feels both ancient and futuristic: ritualistic drumming, hypnotic bass lines, haunting vocal chants and atmospheric keyboards blend seamlessly with traditional Japanese instruments and ceremonial rhythms. Their music unfolds as a kind of sonic mythology, a psychedelic narrative set on the imaginary planet Kuurandia — a world first introduced on their early EP Kuurandia (2017, Self Released).
That mythic universe expanded dramatically with their debut album Gate of Klüna, (2021, LP/CD, Glitterbeat Records). Produced by Tim DeWit, the album introduced listeners to a wildly imaginative blend of psychedelic garage, progressive rock textures and ceremonial music traditions. Each track represents a chapter in the origin story of Kuurandia, weaving tales of moons, volcanoes, cosmic rituals and mysterious civilizations through a soundscape that feels equal parts tribal trance, avant-garde experimentation and psychedelic theatre.
The journey continued with the ambitious follow-up Wheels of Ömon (2025, LP/CD, Glitterbeat Records), which dives even deeper into the band’s fantastical cosmology. If Gate of Klüna explored the moon of that imaginary world, Wheels of Ömon turns its gaze toward its sun, unfolding another chapter of prophecy, mythology and ritual. Incorporating instruments such as sho, ryuteki flutes, chappa cymbals and wadaiko drums, Kuunatic craft a unique fusion where ancient Japanese musical traditions collide with hypnotic bass grooves, trance-like percussion and psychedelic storytelling. The result is something difficult to categorize — a mysterious hybrid of folklore, experimental rock and cosmic psych that feels like a ceremonial soundtrack to a parallel universe.

The New Eves
Pagan Punk and the Rise of the New Psychedelic Matriarchy
Emerging from Brighton’s fertile underground, The New Eves are one of the most intriguing all-female groups to surface in recent years. Formed in 2021, the quartet — Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mager (bass, vocals) and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute, vocals) — weave together a darkly magnetic blend of pagan folk mysticism, raw post-punk urgency and shadowy psychedelia. Their songs feel less like conventional compositions and more like small rituals: violins scrape against droning cellos, flutes breathe ancient melodies, and layered voices unfold like incantations drifting through a fog of distortion and poetic intensity.
Their debut album The New Eve Is Rising (2025, LP/CD Transgressive Records), arrives less as a simple introduction and more as a declaration of intent. Throughout the record, the band channels a fierce lineage of outsider art and poetic rebellion — with the spiritual presence of Patti Smith hovering somewhere in the background — while forging their own mythology rooted in feminine power, folklore and modern unrest. Acoustic folk passages dissolve into punk eruptions, spoken-word verses mutate into psychedelic drones, and moments of quiet reflection suddenly ignite into ecstatic chaos. The result is a debut that feels strangely timeless: part ritual, part protest, part dreamlike vision of a new psychedelic sisterhood taking shape in the shadows of today’s underground.

Second Oracle
Psychedelic Visions from the Temple of the North
Among the most mysterious all-female acts orbiting the modern psychedelic underground are Second Oracle, a Swedish quartet formed in 2014 whose music feels less like a rock performance and more like an esoteric ceremony. The band — Karin Engqvist (organ, vocals), Rebecka Rolfart (bass, vocals), Josefina Pukitis (drums) and Lisa Isaksson (flute, guitar, harmonium, vocals) — blend dark psychedelia with progressive textures, ritualistic rhythms and moments of haunting folk mysticism. Although connected to other corners of the Swedish underground through projects like The Hanged Man, Me and My Kites, Our Solar System and Moon City Boys, Second Oracle exists in a sonic universe entirely its own.
Their self-titled debut album Second Oracle (2019, LP, Lazy Octopus Records), unfolds like a psychedelic journey through mythological landscapes and ancient sanctuaries. Organ drones, hypnotic bass lines and trance-like percussion intertwine with flute passages and harmonium textures, creating an atmosphere that moves between dreamy introspection and darker, hallucinatory territories. At times the music hints at the exploratory spirit of early progressive rock and late-’60s
psychedelia, while elsewhere it slips into tribal grooves, eerie ritual moods and cosmic improvisation. The result is an album that feels almost ceremonial in nature — as if the listener has stepped into some forgotten temple where prophecy, mysticism and lysergic sound collide.

Siri Karlsson
Nordic Rituals and Avant-Psychedelic Visions
Operating somewhere between folk mysticism, experimental rock and psychedelic ritual, the Swedish duo Siri Karlsson have spent the past two decades quietly crafting one of the most distinctive sonic identities in the modern underground. Formed by Maria Arnqvist (saxophone, vocals, synthesizers) and Cecilia Österholm (key fiddle, vocals, synthesizers), the group blends Scandinavian folk roots with a fearless experimental spirit, creating music that moves fluidly between voodoo-punk energy, avant-garde improvisation and hypnotic psychedelic atmospheres. Their unusual instrumental palette — especially the haunting sound of the key fiddle alongside saxophone and analog electronics — gives their recordings a mysterious Nordic character, as if ancient folk traditions were being refracted through a modern psychedelic prism.
Since their debut Mellan Traden (2008, CD, Tombola Records), the duo has built a remarkably diverse discography including albums such as Gran Fuego (2011, CD, Flora & Fauna), The Lost Colony (2015, LP/CD, Flora & Fauna), Shake Shake Love (2017, LP, Tombola Records) and Horror Vacui (2019, LP, Tombola Records), gradually expanding their sonic universe with each release. Their 2022 album 100 DB, released through Tombola Records, perhaps captures this restless creativity most vividly: a dark, shape-shifting record where psychedelic folk, gothic atmospheres, jazz-tinged saxophone passages and experimental rock structures coexist within the same hypnotic landscape. Rather than fitting neatly into any genre, Siri Karlsson inhabit a strange borderland where Nordic folklore, ritualistic performance and psychedelic experimentation merge into something wholly unique — a sound world that feels both ancient and strikingly futuristic.

Sister Wives
Fuzz, Folklore and the Haunted Welsh Psychedelic Revival
Among the most intriguing all-female psyche acts to surface in the UK underground are Sister Wives, a Sheffield-based quartet whose music fuses garage fuzz, post-punk energy and ancient folk mysticism into a striking modern hybrid. The group — Liv Willars (guitar, vocals), Rose Love (bass, vocals), Donna Lee (keys, synths, vocals) and Lisa O’Hara (drums, vocals) — emerged when guitarist Liv Willars relocated to Sheffield and connected with musicians who shared backgrounds in punk but also a fascination with folk traditions, vintage psychedelia and darker strains of experimental rock. A crucial element in the band’s identity comes from Donna Lee’s Welsh roots, which introduced elements of Welsh folklore and language into their music, giving their sound a mysterious mythological undertone rarely heard in contemporary psych.
After a series of early releases — including the EP Gweler Ein Gofid (2020, 10”, Do It Thissen Records / 2022, 12” EP, Libertino Records) and the single Crags (2021, 10” Single Sided, Delicious Clam Records) — the band unveiled their debut album Y Gawres (2022, LP/CD) through Libertino Records. Translating roughly as “The Giantess,” the record presents a kaleidoscopic collision of styles: fuzz-soaked garage rock, organ-driven neo-psychedelia, echoes of British folk revival and flashes of post-punk urgency. Throughout the album, layered female vocals intertwine with hypnotic organ lines, distorted guitars and driving rhythms, creating a sound that feels both retro-inspired and defiantly modern. At times eerie, at times exuberant, Sister Wives’ music carries the spirit of psychedelic experimentation while grounding it in folklore, mythology and the raw energy of underground rock — a combination that places them firmly among the most compelling voices of today’s female-driven psych scene.
