See Psych: Album Review, Complekt by Landing
It hardly seems any time at all since the last Landing album came out, back in the summer. ‘Third Sight’ was such an immediate hit with me when I heard it, as it obviously was with my fellow writer J Hubner, who reviewed it at the time (click here) and wrote: “Third Sight is a beautiful escape from reality. …

OK here goes, I’m a little nervous. Here’s the thing. I have written around 75 album reviews this year, yet I’ve still got a few butterflies. Why? Well every so often an album comes along that you really really want to do justice to. An album that you want to be able to describe to …

Tonight, crowds of psych loyalists have descended on Hebden Bridge for a rather special night of music courtesy of White Rabbit Promotions.

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 …

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 …
