PSYCHIC ILLS - Catoptric

2010 (The social registry)
psychedelia
by Francesco Nunziata
5

Nel solco dell’atmosferico “Mirror Eye”, “Catoptric” (vinile rilasciato dalla Social Registry) continua il discorso meditativo e devozionale degli Psychic Ills. Ma, questa volta, il livello dell’ispirazione è ai minimi storici per la formazione newyorkese. Quattro brani per ventisei minuti di musica e non un sussulto degno di nota. Dal minimalismo raga di “Transmute” (con recitato letargico) alla lunga ipnosi lisergica di “Outvocation”, passando per l’andamento sonnambulo di “Secret Flower” e i fumi mediorientali di “Indus Echo”, l'unica cosa di cui avrete bisogno è un bel po’ di erba.

Tutto il resto è noia.
