Pitchfork (website)
''Pitchfork'' (formerly ''Pitchfork Media'') is an American online music magazine founded in 1996 by Ryan Schreiber in Minneapolis. It originally covered alternative and independent music, and expanded to cover genres including pop, hip-hop, jazz and metal. ''Pitchfork'' is one of the most influential music publications to have emerged in the internet age. In the 2000s, ''Pitchfork'' distinguished itself from print media through its unusual editorial style, frequent updates and coverage of emerging acts. It was praised as passionate, authentic and unique, but criticized as pretentious, mean-spirited and elitist, playing into stereotypes of the cynical hipster.

In geology, rock (or stone) is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition, and the way in which it is formed. Rocks form the Earth's outer solid layer, the crust, and most of its interior, except for the liquid outer core and pockets of magma in the asthenosphere. The study of rocks involves multiple subdisciplines of geology, including petrology and mineralogy. It may be limited to rocks found on Earth, or it may include planetary geology that studies the rocks of other celestial objects. Rocks are usually grouped into three main groups: igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools in the Earth's crust, or lava cools on the ground surface or the seabed. Sedimentary rocks are formed by diagenesis and lithification of sediments, which in turn are formed by the weathering, transport, and deposition of existing rocks. M ...

Psychedelic Pop Music Groups
Psychedelics are a subclass of hallucinogenic drugs whose primary effect is to trigger non-ordinary mental states (known as psychedelic experiences or "trips") and a perceived "expansion of consciousness". Also referred to as classic hallucinogens or serotonergic hallucinogens, the term ''psychedelic'' is sometimes used more broadly to include various other types of hallucinogens as well, such as those which are atypical or adjacent to psychedelia like salvia and MDMA, respectively. Classic psychedelics generally cause specific psychological, visual, and auditory changes, and oftentimes a substantially altered state of consciousness. They have had the largest influence on science and culture, and include mescaline, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT. There are a large number of both naturally occurring and synthetic serotonergic psychedelics. Most psychedelic drugs fall into one of the three families of chemical compounds: tryptamines, phenethylamines, or lysergamides. They ...

''Going, Going Gone'' is the fourth studio album by American psychedelic pop band Mild High Club. The album has received positive reviews from critics. Reception Editors at AnyDecentMusic? scored this album a 6.9 out of 10, aggregating five reviews. Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Fred Thomas writing this album is "fun, mischievous, and wildly enjoyable" and "reaches new levels of clarity and composition for Mild High Club without losing any of the damaged magic that made earlier albums such interesting puzzles". Writing for ''Clash Music'', Joe Rivers rated this work an 8 out of 10, praising the production: "it’s a tricky balance though – a strict producer may have made 'Going Going Gone' a more streamlined affair but would also likely have smoothed away the idiosyncratic edges that make Mild High Club so compelling".

''Skiptracing'' is the second studio album by American psychedelic pop band Mild High Club. The album has received positive reviews from critics. Reception Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Paul Simpson writing that this album contains the "a welcoming brand of mellow, sun-soaked psychedelic pop" from 2015's ''Timeline'', this work is "significantly more ambitious" for "a much fuller sound and a wider scope hattakes more risks". At ''Clash Music'', Noveen Bajpai rated this release a 7 out of 10, writing that the results are "mixed", but "Mild High Club have broken ground and laid new foundations with their most nuanced and exploratory material to date". A B− came from Jeremy Zerbe of ''Consequence of Sound'', who called this work "almost overwhelming in its downtempo feel-goodery", critiquing that the music "falls prey to its own strengths, offering more of the same low-key, summertime vibes but never ultimately building up to anything".

Psychedelic Pop
Psychedelic pop (or acid pop) is a genre of pop music that contains musical characteristics associated with psychedelic music. Developing in the mid-to-late 1960s, elements included " trippy" features such as fuzz guitars, tape manipulation, backwards recording, sitars, and Beach Boys-style harmonies, wedded to melodic songs with tight song structures. The style lasted into the early 1970s. It has seen revivals in subsequent decades by neo-psychedelic artists. Characteristics According to AllMusic, psychedelic pop was not too "freaky", but also not very " bubblegum" either. It appropriated the effects associated with straight psychedelic music, applying their innovations to concise pop songs. The music was occasionally confined to the studio, but there existed more organic exceptions whose psychedelia was bright and melodic. AllMusic adds: "What's trangeis that some psychedelic pop is more interesting than average psychedelia, since it had weird, occasionally awkward blend ...
