While the rest of the world was learning to fly in 1967, Dr. Strangely Strange was teaching Irish folk music how to levitate. These Dublin sonic sorcerers caught the golden ear of Joe Boyd (the wizard behind the Incredible String Band), transforming their 1969 debut Kip of the Serenes into Celtic psychedelia's magic potion. The band created music that felt simultaneously ancient and futuristic, like druids discovering synthesizers in a stone circle. After decades of sabbaticals and reunions, they've proven impossible to keep buried. Think Like A Key Music's Radio Sessions captured rare BBC recordings, while their 2026 reissue of second album Heavy Petting resurrects another essential dose of their peculiar genius—and their acclaimed new album Anti-Inflammatory confirms the prescription still works, with the band touring Ireland and the UK throughout 2025. The doctor remains very much in, dispensing sonic medicine that's been strange, wonderful, and necessary for over five decades.
