Band of the Day – Psychologist

Band of the Day – Psychologist

Once again we are in the situation of not knowing a huge amount about this band at the moment but from what we can tell it is Iain Woods who is the creative force behind the fantastically dark and brooding sounds of Psychologist.  Iain describes his music as ‘Pop’s Evil Twin’ but if anything you will hear the complete opposite to pop on the dark and atmospheric opening track.   It is closer to a Portishead/ Burial hybrid  (no bad thing) but when tracks ‘1994′ and ‘Bella’ kick in the Evil Pop moniker makes sense.  Still keeping the Portishead, dub step vibe but with big Choruses, soulful vocals and big guitar riffs… Psychologist turn into something completely different. Definitely ones to watch and if you like this check out DB faves Kid Adrift and She Is Danger.

Psychologist play the Windmill in Brixton 14th Jan, so worth checking out if you get a chance.
