Psychedelic rock is too often bogged down in cliches, but Mythic Sunship’s 2018 album, Another Shape of Psychedelic Music, was a revelation. By choosing an album title that referenced Ornette Colman’s groundbreaking 1959 LP The Shape of Jazz to Come, they were either making an ironic joke or setting the bar for themselves stratospherically high—and though it turned out to be the latter, they pulled it off. The instrumental Copenhagen group had grown weary of the relatively conventional stoner rock on their first few records, and with the addition of saxophonist Søren Skov, they radically fused the realms of psychedelic music and jazz.
