Listen Before the Show: Psychic Ills

If you took R.E.M.’s “Pop Song 89,” added a shitload of reverb and organ, then smoked enough pot to keep you couchbound, you might have something approaching the sounds of New York’s Psychic Ills. Their recent Sacred Bones release, Hazed Dream, is a refreshingly laid-back wash of fuzz that manages to pique your interest without rendering any details obscure. They play the Jackpot tonight (Tuesday) with Prince Rama. Take a listen to “Mind Daze,” the second track from Hazed Dream, below.
