Psymon Spine Cover More Ground On Latest Single “Channels”; New LP Out Feb 19
With the February 19th release date of their upcoming album Charismatic Megafauna inching closer, New York-based indie psych-pop group Psymon Spine have shared their final taste of the album with “Channels”. Once again capitalizing on their dance-grooves and unfiltered energy.
The song’s meshing of genres keeps listeners on their toes, as post-punk, disco, pop, and avant-garde flash in and out in an array of sequences, rounded out by vocalist Noah Prebish’s growing intensity.
“We spend the majority of our time in Brooklyn, NY absorbing energy, stress, and excitement, then go into the middle of nowhere to process all of those feelings through writing/recording”, Prebish explains. “I had initially planned on delivering the lyrics in a more laidback/spoken manner, but as we kept tracking everyone kept telling me to push it further each time, and when we finally got the best take I was screaming my guts out — I literally could taste blood. It ended up working out just how it was supposed to and gave the song this totally different energy that I had initially expected, and I’m so glad for that.”
The multi-faceted aesthetic of the track fuses into the song’s lyrics, with verses and choruses switching styles like taps turning on and off, building into the song’s metaphor. Prebish continues, “The lyrics came from this analogy of the creative mind being a map with various bodies of water scattered throughout (each body of water representing some area of interest, skill, or trait), and how as an artist our job is to daily cultivate and irrigate this land, making sure every part is getting enough water and that no part is getting flooded“.
