Lost 80s synthpop gem..., December 8, 2010
This review is from: Mystery Hotel (Audio CD)
Wow. I stumbled upon this one on youtube while watching like videos from the era, and was shocked to recognize the song "Uncivilized". This song must have gotten modest airplay on the new wave radio station here in New York because it definitely never got the heavy rotation that it and a lot of stuff by Psyche deserved. This late 80s synthpop band handles everything from bouncy Erasure sounds to darker, almost industrial Depeche Mode of the same era. However, most noticeable is their similarities to the experimental sounds of early Softcell. The singer, in fact, sounds very much like Marc Almond at times, and if you see some of their videos, he also kind of borrows Almond's look and fashion sense. If you love new wave/synthpop from this era, definitely give Psyche a try. Good stuff.
