Picture Dublin, 1967: while the rest of the world was learning to fly, Dr. Strangely Strange was teaching Irish folk music how to levitate. These sonic sorcerers caught the golden ear of Joe Boyd (the wizard behind the Incredible String Band), and suddenly Celtic psychedelia wasn't just possible—it was inevitable. Their 1969 debut Kip of the Serenes served as a magic potion that transformed traditional folk into something genuinely otherworldly, creating music that felt both ancient and futuristic. Like any good psychedelic journey, things evolved in unexpected directions: Tim Goulding explored Eastern philosophies while Ivan Pawle and Tim Booth joined forces with Gay and Terry Woods for folksy supergroup adventures that kept the strange flame burning. After more reunions than a high school yearbook committee, they returned with 1997's Alternative Medicine, proving you can't keep a good doctor down—or a great band buried. Think Like A Key Music's Radio Sessions captured rare BBC recordings, while their critically acclaimed new album Anti-Inflammatory proves the good doctor is still dispensing the perfect medicine, with the band touring Ireland and the UK throughout 2025 to spread their healing sonic prescriptions.
