One of NYC’s original psych-rock groups, Psychic Ills have been keeping Brooklyn weird since 2003. From their debut LP ‘Dins’ back in 2006, the band was always a cut above their peers. While other bands tend to throw everything they’ve got into a cosmic cauldron, Elizabeth Hart and Brian Tamborello seem to weave hypnotic grooves out of thin air. Using a soft touch on ‘FBI’ and getting down-and-dirty on ‘I Get By’ for latest record ‘Hazed Dream’ (Sacred Bones), their new sound has an ultra-economy of space that leaves plenty of room for hazy questions… and that’s what I love about them. The band won’t be back in NY until later this year, so keep them on your telekinetic radar until then. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
