Trip rock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trip-rock is a term used to describe a type of music played by bands like Livering Weavers, mr. Gnome, Unkle, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Portishead, Cut Chemist, Archive, and many more. It's a fusion of trip hop and rock genres, principally alternative rock, but it could also encounter connections with new forms of psychedelic rock or progressive music, sometimes even post-rock. "Trip-rock" was also used by Dutch band The Gathering for describing their music since 1999, but as a "trippy" music with strong emotionality and melancholic mood, rather than rock influenced by trip hop.
