Doom and gloomy, haunting, shoe-gazey, or gothic folk are ways that Marissa Nadler's music may be described. Those may very well be true, but I think there's more to her talent than that. And based on our conversation, there is a metamorphosis coming. Like all great artists, evolutions are inevitable and are typically gateways into the next big chapter of an artist's career. Some may look back and say that 2020 will be remembered as, maybe, the most challenging time of all of our lives. But some may look back on it as a time of rebirth and inner exploration. I am looking forward to what Marissa may make of this situation.On this episode we'll also discuss her early days in Providence, getting over stage fright, and of course, the music of Leonard Cohen. Hence the overwhelmingly dark rant. Good times, great talk.Please find all things Marissa at her website: www.marissanadler.comAnd if you'd like to find out more about us visit: www.psychicstatic.netThank you!Theme music written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut and Orbit.

As an inexperienced songwriter I’ve been told once, instrumentals can be boring. But that certainly doesn’t apply to the artistry of what these next two subjects are. Mac Blackout is, in my humble opinion, a master visual and sonic artist. His latest album, Love Profess, is the basis of my statement. It’s a completely instrumental emotional rollercoaster, filled with positivity and good will while created in a time of psychic turmoil. It was a pleasure to have this opportunity to break into the mind of a truly great artist about just one small slice of inspirational fodder, Brian Eno's ambient transformation, Another Green World. We go deep into Mac's history, making of his latest record, where Another Green World sits in the making of Love Profess and what's to come next, including LOCUST!

I can't honestly say I've ever had many words with Gavin prior to this interview, and it makes me feel like I've been missing out all this time. This conversation was full of laughs but with Gavin still being able to speak in a clear, methodical and introspective way. And to top that off, we discuss what could very well be the most important modern album for R&B, HipHop and NeoSoul. Killer. Find all things Gavin including his latest album, "Here You Go", which this episode features 2 songs off of here:https://gavincastleton.bandcamp.com/merchand to get in touch with us and find out about everything we do visit psychicstatic.netTheme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut and Orbit.

It's my pleasure to bring to you today, my conversation with Paul Dechichio. He is a man known for many things from bands like Best Practices, Alpha Owl and Cyttorak. Paul has taken his love and experience with music and pivoted into the independent record label realm, which is now 20 years deep with no signs of stopping. In honor and observation of this monumental occasion, Paul has taken on his most grand release yet with a 2022 Subscription Series. We go over all the deets of what this amazing steal of deal will entail. Very limited! Less than 20 spots left, at the time of this release, of a total of 50. The only place to get this is at his website:https://www.torjohnsonrecords.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=21&products_id=1720You can even find links to all Paul and Tor Johnson's social media there.Also, find any and all other release from Tor Johnson there or at the band camp, here: https://torjohnsonrecords.bandcamp.com/And, for anyone that knows Paul's label and what he puts out, you may think, "well, this is a strange album for Paul to pick to talk about." And you wouldn't be wrong, but it makes lots of sense. we get into it. We hope you enjoy and we also wish you a Happy Holiday and New Year!If you want more info about us and how to support this show, please visit www.psychicstatic.netYou can find all our links to social media there too!Theme song written and performed by Jeff Robbins of 123 Astronaut and Orbit.

Hope everyone is having a great and Happy Thanksgiving! It's my pleasure to bring to you today, the founding members and backbone of New Haven's most enthralling and energetic band, Killer Kin! With the type of raw unbridled energy they bring, it's no wonder that they'd choose an album with the same infectious, hook laden, sexual fury as this debut album by the New York Dolls. And if you don't believe me, listen to their new 7" vinyl single on Pigbaby Records here:https://killerkin.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-love-narrow-mindand if you want to try to get your hands on a copy, you can do that here:https://pigbabyrecords.com/store.htmlThey'll be playing in Providence, RI at The Parlour on Saturday Nov. 27!

Damian Puerini joins me once again to explore the deceivingly dark and dismal social commentary of The Kinks' rock opera, Arthur(or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)!
