"Imagine Terry Riley forming a rock band. " Social Registry "Soon to be a staple for fans of Can, Terry Riley, 13th Floor Elevators, Red Crayola, and other forward thinking individuals. " insound "A fine sound, a young sound, a sound you should get to know today." Byron Coley The Wire "Psychic Ills is a relatively new quartet from New York developing an indie rock hybrid of Confusion Is Sex-era Sonic Youth (the shattered rhythms and screaming feedback), throbbing psychedelia à la Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine, ghostly reverb-soaked post-punk (Joy Division, Section 25), and Eno's glassy synth-generated ambient textures. " San Francisco Weekly "Incorporating space rock, psychedelica, and drone with the ferocious rhythms of punk rock, Psychic Ills are the rare band that is as experimental as they are explosive. While their dark electronics can sometimes fall into the "spooky" genre (spooky = silly sometimes), these guys make up for it when they let their guitars rip." oh my rockness "Psychic Ills start out playing snakey, woozy reverbed drug-groove s**t, but their space-rock excursions usually eventually turn into actual songs, which basically means they sound like Spiritualized. The singer is a handsome skinny kid with hair in his face who sings in a fey little whisper, buried in the mix, which also means they sound like Spiritualized. But they don't quite always sound like Spiritualized because Spiritualized doesn't have an amazing rhythm section, a low, heavy stomp that sometimes sounds almost tribal and always anchors the two guitarists' gentle feedback spins. So yeah, I like this band too." Village Voice /// LUFTKLUSTER / LUFTFLUKS http://www.canellwatkins.org /// SOMADRONE http://www.myspace.com/iamsomadrone
