Brown Acid: The Twenty-Second Trip is a compilation album in the **hard rock** and heavy psych genres, curated by RidingEasy Records to unearth obscure, vintage tracks from the late 1960s and 1970s that capture the raw transition from psychedelic experimentation to proto-metal. The album, released in 2026, features ten forgotten gems from local bands, with fuzz-laden riffs, heavy grooves and unfiltered energy that evoke the collapse of the utopian dream of the 1960s into a self-centred, heavy-guitar-dominated reality, like time capsules brimming with sweat-soaked counterculture adrenaline. Standout tracks include Space Rider’s distorted, two-chord space adventure from Toronto, depicting a warped alien visit; Polvo’s dark, riff-driven “Have You Ever Been There?” with its alienated vocals and raw leads; and Osage Lute’s epic “Watch Em Shine”, a nearly six-minute progressive journey blending southern twin guitars, Ozzy-esque phrasing and energetic Zep influences without losing its rugged edge. This instalment retains the series’ timeless atmosphere, a haze of real life, freshly plucked from that era.
