The ever-consistent XLR8R have recruited Dreamweapon to put together this mix of sound odysseys and dreamy drones. Melodies in Distortion covers the pedal-attacking pioneers of the early shoegaze movement, paired with the contemporary Wah armed gangs of the newgaze formation, then sidelined by a mind melt of the space-rock and drone-driven pedal pushers. Enjoy this leap through the decades. Melodies in Distortion Mix Tracklist: 1. Mogwai - Stereodee 2. Spectrum - Undo the Taboo 3. Slowdive - Slowdive 4. [...]

Psychic Ills' Mirror Eye is the spooky echo of a murky nightmare and the shapeless forms lurking in its periphery, reverberating steps down cobbled ways, a Walpurgisnacht happening in the forests of the Twin Peaks soundtracked with a ghostly psychedelia that reminds us of Wooden Shjips at their codeine-intoxicated best, ...

Photo by Jason Frank Rothenberg Perhaps you saw it coming: a new LP from psych-y New York experimentalists Psychic Ills . The band's sophomore set is entitled Mirror Eye , and it's due January 20 from the Social Registry . The clairvoyant in me-- and this handy press release, I should add-- notes that Mirror Eye won't be the last we hear from these Ills in the new year, as they're already cooking up a mini-LP called [...]

Psychic Ills: "Another Day Another Night," from the Dins LP (Social Registry, 2005)
This week, Zach Baron reports back from this past weekend's Social Registry Festival in Brooklyn. No Context By Zach Baron DOWNLOAD Psychic Ills, "January Rain" (MP3) No surprise that Artanker Convoy have tracked down the Greenpoint, BK music/aesthetic endgame—just to the left of dentist office jazz, right of most real jazz, straw hats, beards, sunglasses, middle age. At the Social Registry's Summer Festival , word was [...]

Better late than never dept.: Been meaning to mention this for a while, The Social Registry label has nearly their whole roster performing in Brooklyn this weekend, including Samara Lubelski , whose new one Parallel Suns is due out in October. (She's also at work on Thurston Moore's forthcoming solo record.) Pastoral folk-pop with psychedelic details fuzzing up the edges ...

It's Friday and it's time for another installment of Live Catch, Beware Of The Blog's weekly guide to live music in WFMU's New York/New Jersey broadcast area. A bunch of great bands are playing tonight at the Silent Barn . Finnish D.I.Y. weirdos Avarus, who played live on Brian Turner's show last year , are back in town for the evening. Member Jan Anderzen also performed live on his own back in 2005. Rounding out the bill are fellow WFMU live room alums Watersports [...]
We've been everywhere lately. We eulogized one Kurt Vonnegut . There was our continuing coverage of the massacre at Virginia Tech, and the place of art therein. I am not a NRA nut, and I used to be strongly in favor of gun control, but using this incident as a pretext for gun control is absurd. (I was in favor of gun control before I realized that everyone dies, eventually. After that, I was like, What's the point?) We talk about all the [...]
Once again, another album the popularity of which I am not sure of. I heard it in a coffee shop, but the girl who played it was also into some pretty random stuff, so maybe they're not so big as I think. Regardless of how well-known the band is, however, they make some pretty awesome psych rock. Like a cross between The Jesus & Mary Chain and Bardo Pond, they have a sound that is classic and easily placeable yet relatively distinctive. I won't say original, I think, because they are treading ground well mapped by [...]
Es ist an der Zeit, mal wieder etwas den Bratgitarren Gehör zu verschaffen - und meine heutige Band bedient Freude von Jesus & Mary Chain und Spacemen 3-artigem Lärm ganz vortrefflich. Die Psychic Ills stammen aus New York und haben unlängst eine Sammlung ihrer ersten Singles unter dem Titel «Early violence» auf dem Label Social Registry veröffentlicht; außerdem existiert ihr reguläres Debütalbum «Dins» , das musikalisch ausgereifter sein soll. Das ist allerdings auch schon alles, was man an Informationen zu dieser Band finden kann - und so muss ihre psychedelisch angerockte Musik für [...]
my body at times feels like its going into a state of shock. maybe its these strange warm winter days now turning into snow. i feel really tired and all the codeine cough syrup in the world cant seem to keep me asleep but im trying. afterall, today is my birthday... i still cant believe ive already lived a quarter of my life and that i possibly may live another. mahogany my bed is my [...]

Psychic Ills' full-length Dins was one of my favorites of late 05 / early 06. The forthcoming Early Violence collects the vinyl-only Mental Violence I 7" and Mental Violence II: Diamond CIty 12" along with some odds and ends and unreleased tracks (inc. the woozy keyboard-based "Red-Split," debuted in Galactic Zoo Dossier mag and currently up on the Ills' myspace ). Some of this material is pretty demo-ish, with an early two-man drum machine lineup, but they quickly tune in on the murky feedback fog [...]
