Say Psych: Album Review, Karma Suture by Fungal Abyss
Fungal Abyss are a band who are completely new to me, even though they have been going since around 2011. Essentially a side project of Seattle post-metal band Lesbian, Fungal Abyss could be described more as ‘space rock’ in their approach. The band’s debut album, I have since learned, is highly regarded in space rock …
Say Psych: Album Review, The Hermit by Surya Kris Peters
The idea of living as a hermit is one that I find increasingly palatable. Taking myself away from the frightening realities of the world seems to be one solution that I could very much buy into. In fact were it not for my family I would be seriously tempted. It is partially for this reason …
Say Psych: Playlist 24/2016
A real mixed bag of new music here on Psych Insight this week. I hadn’t heard any of these tracks a week ago and am thrilled to have listened to them now. So just dive in and enjoy what’s new… The Vanishing Earth Pt III by Tranquonauts Tranquonauts is an album featuring a collaboration …
Say Psych: Album Review, Phantom of Liberty by Camera
Camera are a band who I have always had high regard for, something that seems to grow with each of their releases. If the band’s previous album ‘Remember I Was Carbon Dioxide‘ marked a move towards a more electronic sound, then ‘Phantom of Liberty’ further completes the move. Furthermore, it also broadens out the band’s …
Say Psych: Live in San Francisco by Feral Ohms
Oh. My. Fucking. God. When a bunch of guys from bands who have been partially responsibly for some of my favourite releases of the year get together to do a live album I’m going to take notice. But this? THE SCUZZ! MY MIND? THE SCUZZ! BLOWN! Feral Ohms are Ethan Miller (Heron Oblivion), Chris Johnson (Andy Human …
Psych Insight: Album Review, Zement:Werk by Zement
I’m going to break with tradition here and begin with a the band’s press bio, basically because it tells you all you need to know: “This duo is less about an inorganic building material and more about an improvised jam to drift away. More analog meets digital as a bulk product. Repetitive meet psychedelic sounds, …
Say Psych: Album Review, Dandelion Sauce of the Ancients by Terminal Cheesecake
Fans of 1980s/90s psychedelia will no doubt be aware of Terminal Cheesecake, a band so in your face that not even a death mask would stop them from giving you serious attitude; one of those bands who always seemed to be on the edge sometimes tipping over in to the abyss of inaccessibility. Well hold onto …
Say Psych: Premiere, The Sentient by Dreamtime
It’s been a big year for Dreamtime releases this year. The first two albums, ‘Dreamtime‘ and ‘Sun‘, were re-released by Cardinal Fuzz/ Captcha Records back in January and sold out pretty damn quickly. Now hot (really hot) on their heels comes the Brisbane band’s third album ‘Strange Pleasures’ which is now up for pre-order from …
Say Psych: Playlist 23/2016
These days it seems almost impossible to keep up with all the releases that are coming out constantly during the year. One of the reasons I started doing these playlists was to try and keep up a bit more with what’s out there. This week’s Psych Insight playlist is made up from fifteen tracks from …
Say Psych: Playlist 22/2016
Autumn is always a busy time of year for new releases, but this year just seems totally off the charts. I’m getting great new music in on a daily basis and its almost impossible to keep up with this. Here’s fifteen new tracks that are well worth hearing, most of which are new to me …
