Better
Psychics offer an indie rock sound that when played fast and acoustic can
channel The Get Up Kids, but when slower and more melodic could be Dashboard
Confessional. It’s got that home
recorded feel to it of Daniel Johnston, and it also has some strange bits and
pieces as well.
The
first song says “I Seize Thunder”, but all I hear is “ice is thunder” for some
reason, which gets my mind off and running in a million different directions.
What
separates these songs from any other band really- and maybe even from
themselves- is the seemingly randomness of it all. Every so often, something will happen
musically that just seemingly comes out of the blue. It’s out of left field in that sense, when
you feel like someone just accidentally stepped on the keyboard and added in an
extra noise.
Aside
from the randomness (which does make this that much greater) there is also a
quality to these songs which just reminds me of something that should be on the
soundtrack to the television show “The Wonder Years”, and well, you know, nostalgia
and all.
