Dr. Strangely Strange was an Irish psychedelic folk band that formed in Dublin in the late 1960s. Known for their whimsical, free-spirited sound and surreal lyricism, they were part of the same eclectic folk scene that included acts like The Incredible String Band. Their 1969 debut album, Kip of the Serenes, produced by Joe Boyd, earned them a cult following for its mix of acoustic folk, experimental arrangements, and bohemian charm.
Though they never achieved mainstream success, Dr. Strangely Strange developed a devoted fanbase and are considered influential in the psychedelic folk genre. Members of the band intermittently reunited over the decades, and their recordings—both official releases and rare archival material like Radio Sessions—continue to attract interest from collectors and folk enthusiasts seeking that unique blend of Irish wit and psychedelic whimsy.
