The Big Takeover has just dropped a musical bombshell, premiering the video for "Running Through Chelsea," a collaboration between Peter Daltrey of the iconic British psych band Kaleidoscope and Mark Mortimer. This isn't just a new release; it's a psychedelic renaissance.

A Sonic Kaleidoscope

"Running Through Chelsea" is a lush widescreen collage of sonic alchemy. Mellotrons mingle with sitars, baroque strings dance with Hammond organs, and 12-string guitars share the spotlight with exotic folk instruments from Africa and Asia. The result? A journey through sound that's as much a nod to psychedelia's past as it is a leap into its future.

In Their Own Words

Peter Daltrey reflects on the creative process: "Running through Chelsea... the song and the album was a pure joy to co-write with Mark. It gave me the opportunity to go way back and think about my time in Chelsea with my girlfriend, broke but optimistic about our future together."

Mark Mortimer, a lifelong fan turned collaborator, adds: "We have come up with a record that's contemporary and has edgy moments alongside the more surreal and quixotic. It was great writing with Peter and felt so natural and so easy."

More Than Just Music

This collaboration isn't just about creating a new track; it's about bridging generations of psychedelic rock. As Daltrey and Mortimer blend their unique perspectives, they've created something that feels both timeless and timely.

Experience It Yourself

Words can only do so much justice to this auditory odyssey. Head over to The Big Takeover to watch the video premiere of "Running Through Chelsea" and immerse yourself in what the duo describes as "kaleidoscopic colour and light" - a soothing accompaniment to these troubled times.

Don't miss this chance to see psychedelia reborn. This isn't just a new track; it's a portal to a more colorful musical dimension.

The album Running Through Chelsea now available on LP / CD and Digital editions
