Formed in 2013, and named after a 1-900 psychic hotline, Psychic Love is the self-styled “dream-grunge” project of songwriter, Laura Peters. They released their excellent debut album, “The Hive Mind” at the back end of last year, and have this week shared the latest offering from it, “Red Sun”.
Very on topic with recent discussions about the effect of the internet bubble, Laura has implied Red Sun is, ” a song about seeking the full spectrum of human experience, even when those experiences are sometimes ugly or painful.” Musically, like Molly Burch this is classic Lee Hazlewoodian-pop, all twanging, atmospheric guitars and steady ticking drums, while Laura’s voice brings to mind Charlie Hilton or even, yes, Nancy Sinatra. A highlight on this, or indeed any album, and an excellent choice of single.
The Hive Mind is out now. Check for all upcoming Psychic Love shows.
