New acid rock releases: November 2 – 8, 2026

This week's acid rock highlights include Pink Floyd's 50th anniversary reissue of Animals, featuring unreleased material, and Soft Machine's new audio/video box set, complemented by the release of their Live History on Bandcamp. The week also revisits pivotal moments in the genre’s history, from Cream’s transitional farewell with 'Goodbye' to the cultural impact of a St. Louis radio station championing counterculture through Jefferson Airplane. T. Rex’s transformation of Howlin’ Wolf’s blues into glam rock with 'Jeepster' and Randy Holden’s Population II further illustrate the genre’s evolving spirit.
