Cascadia psych is a genre that emerged in the Pacific Northwest during the early 2000s, blending elements of psychedelic rock, folk, ambient, and experimental music. Characterized by its atmospheric soundscapes, layered instrumentation, and often improvised structures, the genre embraces both acoustic and electric elements, featuring guitars, synthesizers, and unconventional percussion. Vocals, when present, tend to be dreamy and reverb-laden. Drawing inspiration from the region's natural beauty and counterculture ethos, Cascadia psych often incorporates themes of environmentalism and spirituality. The genre's fluid nature allows for crossover with indie rock, drone, and avant-garde styles, setting it apart through its distinct regional identity and emphasis on creating immersive, trance-like experiences. While remaining largely underground, Cascadia psych has cultivated a devoted following and influenced broader indie and experimental music scenes, showcasing the Pacific Northwest's unique musical landscape.
