lukrecia 22 Posted December 1, 2010 So, there is a new Psysalia single, released today. It seems, that it is a collabration between the band and TOILET, which is, judging from their homepage, some kind of an artist collective. (At youtube, there is "Psysalia Psysalis Psyche × TOILET" so I think I'm right.) ZqtZcnZDPgQ Psysalia Psysalis Psyche × TOILET " X is to Y as Y is to Z "Art Direction & Design : Keiichiro Oshima (OSHIMA inc.) Styling : Ryutaro Akada Hair & Make : Ari Art Set : Kousaku Morii (Tadabijutsu) Dancer : Munetaka Maki Model : Ksenia Total Art Produce : Tomohiro Kobayashi (TOILET), Nobuyoshi Asai (TOILET) (2010.12.01) Psysalia Psysalis Psyche - X Is To Y As Y Is To Z Tracklist: 01. X Is To Y As Y Is To Z02. Death To My Friends 03. Y Is To Y As Y Is To Z (oOoOO Remix) I'm a bit disappointed, that they haven't continued the louder and crazier style, which made Lemon Pop an awesome release, but I still like the song. (But I think, thay it's a bit too long.) Also, I'm curious about the first (offical) Psysalia remix, I dind't expect from them to collabrate with one of the most actual artists, oOoOO (of course, actual only if we admit that witch house or drag is a real style), but it sounds as something exciting. Well, we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yu-i 6 Posted December 1, 2010 The cover reminds about Xjapan.. It's a pity that they don't sell this and lemon pop on hearjapan or such sites TVT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukrecia 22 Posted December 1, 2010 I think, Psysalia started his own four (?) single campaign - if you check their website, you can see, that 'Psysalia Psysalis Psyche Hotel' has four windows: at one of the windows, you can see a lemon (Lemon Pop), and at another one, an X (X is to Y as Y is to Z). Both singles were released at the first day of the month (1st of October and 1st Of December), and both singles are the result of a collaboration - at Lemon Pop, they collaborated with Keisuke Asakura, and at X Is To Y..., they collaborated with TOILET. And if you click on the windows of the hotel, you can see, that both singles have their own mini-site, and the two are simular in many aspects. And since there are two more windows, I think, that we can prepare for ourselves, because they will release a single on the first of Februar, and May. Can't wait!

CAT5 9075 Posted December 1, 2010 Nice! Sounding good. They've shown a lot of maturation in a fairly short time I think. Shame they aren't appreciated more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lukrecia 22 Posted December 1, 2010 Nice! Sounding good. They've shown a lot of maturation in a fairly short time I think. Shame they aren't appreciated more... I really appreciate, that their singles feature two or three new song, and they aren't like PLASTICZOOMS, in the sense, that they aren't releasing singles with one new track and a remix. And the fact, that both singles have a very different concept and style is also something special in my eyes - they are a really unique band, and I'm happy to see, how their sound evolves from release to release. I was a bit disappointed that after Lemon Pop's crazy and loud, Sonic Youth-influenced stlye, they changed so radically in sound, but after the third listen, I'm liking it. A bit too long song, but it has some good ideas in it, and I'm digging the trippy atmosphere - and the PV goes well with the song. Happy, that they are continuing releasing so good singles/albums, and I can't wait to see, how they sound will evolve through the releases. And I couldn't resist, I ordered the single. They truly deserve the support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This sounds so awesome, hopefully your hunch is right and we'll be getting 2 more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
