Hapshash and the Coloured Coat

Hapshash and the Coloured Coat, a pioneering force in the late 1960s British music scene, blurred the lines between visual art and avant-garde music. The duo, comprised of Michael English and Nigel Waymouth, ventured beyond their renowned psychedelic poster designs to create two groundbreaking albums. Their music, characterized by its experimental approach and fusion of electronic elements with rock and psychedelia, played a significant role in shaping the sound and aesthetic of the era’s counterculture. Through their innovative use of studio techniques and sound manipulation, Hapshash and the Coloured Coat not only contributed to the evolution of electronic music but also left an indelible mark on the psychedelic movement.
