Description
This is a rare vinyl test pressing of the 2017 Dais Record & Sacred Bones reissue of Psychic TV's album, Pagan Day
"Hazy-headed psych-blues jams with self-explanatory names and minimalist synth-disco... Pagan Day was a byproduct of becoming “re-obsessed with the wonderful simplicity but sort-of brutal use of studio techniques in psychedelic music”. The album is an exercise in futurist primitivism, split evenly between the sort of intimately melodic serenades and crude, rhythmic instrumental sketches in search of a song. For the tracks that fall in the latter camp, the sense of slap-dash improvisation is all too palpable. The album’s centerpiece is a stripped-down but reverential cover of “Translucent Carriages” by psych-folk figureheads Pearls Before Swine, and this reissue adds a boombox-raw but still disarmingly wistful rendition of the Rolling Stones’ “As Tears Go By”. And in “Cold Steel,” Psychic TV deliver a beautifully baroque ballad that, even in this rudimentary recorded form, can stand proudly among those ’60s standards." - Pitchfork
