====Garage-based psychedelic rock==== {{Main|Psychedelic rock}}{{See also|acid rock}} [[File:The Electric Prunes.png|thumb|[[The Electric Prunes]] in 1966]] Tapping into the psychedelic zeitgeist, musicians sonically pushed barriers and explored new horizons. Garage acts, while generally lacking the budgetary means to produce musical extravaganzas on the scale of the Beatles' ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'' or the instrumental virtuosity of acts such as [[Jimi Hendrix]] or [[Cream (band)|Cream]], nonetheless managed to infuse esoteric elements into basic primitive rock.{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=31}} [[The 13th Floor Elevators]] from Austin, Texas, are usually thought to be first band to use the term "psychedelic"βin their promotional literature in early 1966.<ref name="Deusner (13th Floor Debut)">{{cite web|last1=Deusner|first1=Stephen M.|title=The 13th Floor Elevators: The Psychedelic Sounds of...|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11855-the-psychedelic-sounds-of-i-have-always-been-here-before/|website=Pitchfork Media|access-date=December 19, 2015|date=July 10, 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151115143844/http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11855-the-psychedelic-sounds-of-i-have-always-been-here-before/|archive-date=November 15, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> They also used it in the title of their debut album released in November, ''[[The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators]]''. In August 1966, [[the Deep (band)|the Deep]] traveled from New York to Philadelphia to record a set of hallucinogenic songs for the album ''[[Psychedelic Moods]]: A Mind-Expanding Phenomena'', released in October 1966, one month before the 13th Floor Elevators' debut album, and whose all-night sessions produced mind-expanding [[Stream of consciousness (narrative mode)|stream of consciousness]] ramblings.<ref name="Benes (Deep/Psych Moods)">{{cite web|last1=Benes|first1=Ross|title=The First 'Psychedelic' Album Ever|url=http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a27725/the-deep-psychedelic-moods/|website=Esquire|access-date=December 19, 2015|date=March 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222132952/http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a27725/the-deep-psychedelic-moods/|archive-date=December 22, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> Other notable bands that incorporated psychedelia into garage rock were the Electric Prunes, the Music Machine, the Blues Magoos,{{sfn|Markesich|2012|p=32}} and the Chocolate Watchband. Garage rock helped lay the groundwork for the [[acid rock]] of the late 1960s.{{sfn|Hoffmann|2004|p=1725}}
