Wig Out! Freak Out! (Freakbeat & Mod Psychedelia Floor Fillers 1964-1969)

Wig Out! Freak Out! was compiled and released in 2023 by the Two Piers label as a curated retrospective of late 1960s British music. The collection focuses on the intersection of freakbeat, mod, and early psychedelia, gathering obscure recordings that characterize the sonic evolution of the era. By drawing from smaller, often overlooked labels of the time, the release aims to capture the high-energy, guitar-driven sound that defined underground clubs in London during the mid-to-late 1960s.

The album serves as a companion piece to the broader mission of Two Piers, which frequently archives music from the mod and garage rock subcultures. The design reflects the visual language of the period, utilizing typography and color palettes reminiscent of 1960s underground posters and fanzines. The compilation has been received by enthusiasts as a well-researched archive that provides context to a fleeting but influential moment in rock history, emphasizing the raw, experimental production styles favored by the featured artists.
