| rdfs:comment | - H. P. Lovecraft was an American psychedelic rock band, formed in Chicago, Illinois, (1967-1969) and named after the horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Much of the band's music was possessed of a haunting, eerie ambiance, and consisted of material that was inspired by the macabre writings of the author whose name they had adopted. Combining elements of psychedelia and folk rock, the band's sound was marked by the striking vocal harmonies of ex-folk singer George Edwards and the classically-trained Dave Michaels. In addition, Michaels' multi-instrumentalist abilities on organ, piano, harpsichord, clarinet and recorder provided the band with a richer sonic palette than many of their contemporaries.
