ECSTATIC VISION share hot psych new song via Popmatters!
Philadelphia-based psychedelic rockers ECSTATIC VISION present a mind-expanding new track taken from their upcoming studio album “For The Masses”, coming this fall on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
ECSTATIC VISION have tapped into something that expands heavy rock’s vocabulary and moves into a far-out sonic galaxy where there is music in the spheres but the spheres vibrate on previously untold frequencies. Guitarist Doug Sabolik says: “It’s what I would refer to as ‘easy-listening’ as far as Ecstatic Vision goes. It’s the first time I used an acoustic guitar on one of our records, but come on, I’m not making safe, digestible rock for the masses. Once the guitars and synth really heat up, prepare to trip out.”

Hey Skope Mag – Brudini blocked from running Facebook on his new video
A collaboration between Brudini, New York based fashion photographer Fabrizio del Rincon, the video for ‘Emotional Outlaw’ sees Brudini running up against an androgynous – and ambiguous – figure (played by queer model and Elsewhere-bartender Didi Fredrika), who assumes the role of soul companion, of muse, of demon and – perhaps – a personification of suppressed aspects of himself. The relationship between them progresses as the track builds, the boundaries between the masculine and feminine energies blurring as Brudini pushes through preconceptions and – for a moment – is able to dance with his own fears, before climaxing in his violent self-destruction.

KRISTEENYOUNG Premieres Theatric “<” Music Video via Post-Punk
Dissonant pianos, tribal drums, a groovy bass line, and her trademark dramatic performance are the obvious and alluring traits of the lead single and video “<” (pronounced “Less Than”) off of avant-rock singer-songwriter/producer KRISTEENYOUNG’s ninth album THE SUBSET (set for release on September 4, 2019), the effect is even more heightened by claustrophobic backing vocals and screeching synths. Alternative music tome Post-Punk calls the track, “diabolically dissonant.”
