Psychic Tension [LP]

Dead Sea Apes - Psychic Tension [LP]

Dead Sea Apes are back with a fierce new album -- Psychic Tension -- an urgent soundtrack for the nerve-shredding times. The collective psyche is under attack, reeling from the chaos of a modern world under siege: from war, death, destruction and climate catastrophe to political decay, media manipulation, growing inequality and the rank depravity of the so-called elite. Dead Sea Apes have wrestled these dilemmas -- this Psychic Tension - into sonic/musical form, creating catharsis from the chaos. Psychic Tension picks up where previous album Rewilding left off, carrying forward the momentum of massive riffs, juggernaut rhythms and squalling sonic overload. Noise rock, Japanese psych, minimal dub and electric-era Miles are all part of the mix: each member of Dead Sea Apes brings decades of musical exploration to bear on the music. The iterative repetition of Can meets the telepathic mind-meld of the power trio; the deceptive simplicity of Crazy Horse is pulled through the sonics of PSF Records; the live-in-the-practice-room energy is bolstered by layered landscapes of sound -- from ethereal echoes to feedback drones to transistor-torturing lead lines. Dead Sea Apes have always followed their own path, the music instinctively wired into to the world around them. On Psychic Tension they have once again cooked up a sound that is wholly their own. Featuring Brett Savage (guitars), Jack Toker (bass, guitars), and Chris Hardman (drums). Recorded and mixed by Chris Hardman. Cover art and design by Brett Savage.
