FRKWYS Vol. 4 - Psychic Ills - Out Now

FRKWYS Vol. 4 - Psychic Ills - Out Now

FRKWYS Vol. 4: Psychic Ills has landed, and just barely - this record is practically suspended in a thick fog.

With the store post up for you'all to utilize in yr purchasing experience (go do it now), you'll find that the description there likens this album to a family tree. Quite an astute observation by my colleague, coincidental as well since thick foliage always comes to mind when I think of Psychic Ills.

Juan Atkins, Gibby Haynes, & Jochim Irmler, on the other hand, don't necessarily come to mind. Yet, Detroit Techno, Texas Psychedelia, & German Experimentalism seem like natural components of a forward-thinking psychedelic group in today's musical climate. So, this project & those remixers were an ingenious match that we were happy to have facilitated for such a deserving group. The result: 3 mutations of some very organic compositions build on the sound of freeky freedom that we enjoy hearing from these performers.

Psychic Ills are one of the most accessible yet mystifying groups in NYC, a balance that they've continually struck for several years now. They're iconic yet somewhat faceless. However, were you to see their faces, chances are you'd blush and/or cower. Then again, we're not asking you to look at them - just listen. We're making that easy with the Juan Atkins' remix streaming below.

And be sure to check the site tomorrow for the September RVNG playlist curated by Psychic Ills.

Psychically Thrilled,
