Hazed Dream

For fans of: Spacemen 3, Phantom Payn, Ariel Pink,Wooden Shjips... Sacred Bones Records is proud to present Hazed Dream, the new long-player from fellow New Yorkers, Psychic Ills. Since their formation in 2003 as a home-recording experiment, the Ills have evolved into a live band, in their element playing the extended jam. Musically, it also marks a departure from some of the band s more recent sonic explorations. The raga rumbles and synthesizer space-outs aren t gone all together; the singular blasted musical perspective of the Ills remains. Fans new and old will find it totally dreamy. Tres Warren, 4th of July, 2011: Some developments in our lives led to new approaches. The music came out the old fashioned way...a way that had been avoided for a while. It was about putting some words to some chords and keeping it simple. Getting back to something. Feeling a feeling. Shaking out the NY brain boil. Movin away from some old bad vibes, by creating some new good ones. Dreaming out the bad. Takin it easy on ourselves, and those around us. This album lives in a sunny place. A half memory. A hazed dream. Band has released 3 full-lengths and several limited-edition 12 s on Social Registry, Spring Press (Australia), Skrot Up (Denmark) and RVNG INTL since 2003. Have toured and collaborated w/ the Butthole Surfers, Damo Suzuki, and Excepter.
