PSYENCE release new video for ‘Phoenix’ // UK tour starts this week!
PSYENCE RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE ‘PHOENIX’ AND UK TOUR THIS NOVEMBER
“Face melting 60s rock that sounds like Wooden Shjips drowning in a thick, molten vat of acidic organs and churning riffs” Q Magazine
“The drums sound like Can’s Vitamin C as the guitars play a frantic game of snakes and ladders through the kaleidoscopic soundscape” NME
“All soaring riffs and sweeping vocals… it’s an intense listen, one that focuses the flamboyance of Psyence into some serious elixir for the third eye” Clash
“The melodic sensibilities of Tame Impala with the rhythmic thud of ‘Exterminator’-era Primal Scream and classic Can along with the bludgeoning blues riffs of The Dead Weather” The Quietus
A band so authentically different from its genre that it can only have outgrown it, Stoke-on-Trent psych-extraordinaires PSYENCE return with their new single ‘Phoenix’ on November 3rd 2014, alongside a series of UK tour dates.
Shirking the kraut-rock and dark side of post-psych while transcending the eternal cheesiness of the free-love Daisy age, Psyence are a band so differentiated from anyone else that it can only be described as stepping into new undiscovered frontiers.
Blurring the lines of 60’s Americana garage rock and flirting with modern-day psychedelia such as Pond and Temples, Psyence is an intense chemical reaction of face-melting riffs, spacious vocals and groove-based rhythms that have been locked away up north to slowly mature away from the ‘style over substance’ London psych scene.
‘Phoenix’ (out Nov 3rd through Salvation Records)
Following on from their acclaimed single ‘Chemicals For Breakfast’ earlier in the year, Psyence now return with more ‘third-eye cleansing’ elixir on their expansive and ambitious new single ‘Phoenix’ this November.
Having already being lauded by the likes of NME, Clash Magazine, Q Magazine, The Quietus, Artrocker and The Guardian, as well as being hailed “the best live band” he’d seen in 10 years by The Charlatan’s Martin Blunt following their Liverpool Festival of Psychedelia performance, Psyence are rapidly becoming much much more than just a new ‘one to watch’.
‘Phoenix’ will be released on November 3rd 2014 through Salvation Records. Psyence will also embark on a series of UK tour dates supporting the new release, beginning in Liverpool on November 1st.
