Music is a very dynamic stimulus and consists of distinct acoustic features such as pitch, rhythm and timbre. Neuroimaging studies highlight the hierarchy of brain networks involved in music perception. Psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide, temporarily disintegrate the brain’s normal hierarchy of functioning and produce profound subjective effects, including enhanced music-induced emotions.

Studies of the effect of LSD on the experience of music

Many studies(example) have revealed altered brain activity and connectivity to acoustic features in music under the influence of LSD. Psychedelics evoke feelings of awe. Such findings are the first to shed light on how the brain processes music under the influence of psychedelics and provide new insights into the brain processes underlying music perception and peak emotions under natural listening conditions.

Khruangbin’s musical genre is a hotly debated topic among critics. Primarily instrumental, the band’s sound has been described as soul, surf rock, psychedelic, rock, dub and funk.

As music journalist Rob Shepherd noted for PostGenre, “[imię Khruangbin], which means “flying engine” or airplane in Thai, is perfect for their music because it often crosses borders and cultures.”
