Swirling through and around "Stupid Child" by singer-songwriter Chris Pellnat, based out of Hudson, New York is the raw 60's psychedelic folk buzz born out of the counter culture rebellion or one two many acid drop. At least, that is what it feels like, part barefoot hippie and part slick nehru jacket with rectangular purple sunglasses. The sort of Farfisa organ sound, tom tom beat, busker guitar, and the bohemian folk prose feels like a lost demo tape from that time. Interestingly it is not unlike the re-retro psyche punk tones of mid-2000's post punk psyche bands like Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel or Mystic Braves although Pellnat keeps the downward spiral more organically hand crafted pulling in dulcimer, vibraphone and retro synth on top of his guitars.
From Pellnat's latest 2021 album "Crossing".

Chris Pellnat does the singer-songwriter thing his own way. He uses strange amalgamations of sound, like dulcimer, vibraphone and retro synth - to build incredibly unique, melodic songs. Hailing from Hudson, NY (USA), Chris also plays guitar in the Poughkeepsie-based psychedelic band, The Warp/the Weft.
He released his latest album, "Crossing," in February 2021.
