Californian heavy rockers Psychic Hit premiere new single »Narcan Visions«; available now on cassette and digital!
Oakland, California based heavy rockers Psychic Hit have released the first single »Narcan Visions« taken from their upcoming album »Something For The Pain«.
Says the band: “First single, »Narcan Visions« from our forthcoming album, »Something For The Pain«, is streaming exclusively on Bandcamp. We’re also excited to offer our new single on a two-toned white/red cassette tape, with two bonus tracks.
Crank it loud. Other streaming options coming!”
Erected from the shimmering lawlessness of the East Bay rock and metal scenes, Psychic Hit beckons the listener to come out and play (but don’t forget your whip).
Heavy riff-inclined guitars, walloping drums, an undercurrent of synth, and sneering, snarling vocals of the kind you could imagine if Stevie Nicks had had a penchant for psychedelics instead of blow, or if Shocking Blue’s Mariska Veres was possessed by bacchanalian demons.
Founded by lead guitarist Dre Genevieve (Purple Rhinestone Eagle) and vocalist/violinist Ariana Jade (Nik Turner’s Hawkwind), Psychic Hit features Zack Gilliam (Xenotaph) on bass, Justin Divver (Funeral Chant) on drums, and Ian Cowell (Bi Score) on guitar.
»Solutio«, their new album that might just also be your favorite old album. »Solutio« is an album that perfectly suits this historical moment. Headbanging yet cosmic. It’s about love in an age of madness and hysteria. An alchemical solution that’s both heady with nostalgia and thoroughly modern, »Solutio« is a love letter to Psychic Hit’s influences as well as their postmodern manifesto.
