Psychic Ills
Amoeba Review
02/18/2013
Originating as a druggy, dusty space-kraut jam band, Austin's great Psychic Ills have been evolving towards bluesy, Stonesy songcraft for a while, and now they've truly arrived. Their sound is still hazy, spacious and haunted, but now they're giving you one tuneful garage singalong after another, with big shaggy harmonies and joyful choruses and everything. The single "Might Take A While," for example, with its rickety thump, is a perfect little three-minute blues-pop nugget. There's a little bit of Spacemen 3 in there, a little bit of BJM, a little bit Troggs, a little bit Velvets. In short, great primal rock & roll. They still stretch things out into half-hour fuzz-jams live sometimes, but it's good to hear some real melodic punch in Tres Warren's ragged riffs and Elizabeth Hart's loping basslines. Heal thyself with some Psychic Ills!
