"When it comes to following the beat of their own drum, New York's Psychic Ills have exemplified the phrase since their beginnings in 2003. The early years saw several releases for Social Registry, tons of time on the road, and collaborations with artists as diverse as Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers) and Sonic Boom (Spacemen Three/ Spectrum). In 2011, their first effort for Sacred Bones, Hazed Dream, traded in the synthesizer space-outs and raga rumbles, and delivered a record of sunburned psych pop, awash in warm tones and blues damaged songwriting. In 2012 they did two full US tours including a stop at Austin Psych Fest, and had their first trip to China. They recorded One Track Mind, their fourth full length, that fall. The album features collaborations with and production by Neil Michael Hagerty of Royal Trux/The Howling Hex. One Track Mind is perhaps the most straight-forward rock record the Ills have ever made."
