PSYCHIC ILLS Summary

Telesthetic Tape - Bearing a picture of Hazrat Inayat Khan obscured by a passage from his own esoteric teachings on music, PSYCHIC ILLS’ Telesthetic Tape, originally issued as a cassette in the summer 2010, now appears on vinyl. Culled from years of practice space tapes (the lineups, locations and instrumentation are unclear), Telesthetic Tape is 40 minutes of droney raga ramblings, hazy jam sprawl and electronic explorations tied together with a recurring theme that fades in and out between nearly all of the “songs”—a not too veiled reference to the Magical Power Mako’s Super Record? 

LP / Black jacket with paste-on artwork and numbered insert
Edition of 220 / Released 2011
Release no. SUT63

Track list:

A1) Untitled
B1) Untitled

LISTEN

TRANSCENDENTAL SOUND

Telesthetic Tape is a much rougher DIY affair than the rest of the band's releases thus far. On this outing the group incorporate a much more industrial vibe to the dark atmosphere already present in their work. Side 2 even manages to meld the influence of Muslimgauze into their work. A pretty stellar release and their 3rd of the year.

sic [MAGAZINE]

"Psychic Ills‘ latest release – Telesthetic Tape – probably couldn’t have been more aptly named. For starters, it’s on cassette (surprise), but more importantly, and in a nutshell, telesthetic (or telesthesia) refers to the response or perception of distant objects or events in an extrasensory capacity. This can be interpreted in one of two ways – specifically the recording, a reference to the tape itself, or what it would like to achieve for the listener. I’m leaning more towards the latter, but that’s an impression more than it is a certainty, which is also quite apt. The music is divided into several individual tracks over both sides, but there are no individual track names, simply ‘Side 1’ and ‘Side 2’. Thus, I presume, it’s intended to be considered in its entirety rather than narrowing focus down to individual tracks. Side 1 starts with a short, wavering drone which, while making several resurgences further down the line, primarily serves as a more subtle basis for most of the remaining pieces. Entirely instrumental, experimental drone may be at its centre, but drifting around that is a variety of loosely structured and abstract psychedelia, and other times it becomes more directly driven both by percussion and something akin to melody."
