UNDERGROUND A&R REPORT

PSYCHOPHILE - VODKA MILK

Outdoing earlier work by Psychophile, Vodka Milk is still rough around the edges; the band is creative and writes good enough songs to be a smash, but their thin delivery on their recordings does not do them justice. Sometimes, a few times, the true power of Pointyat & Smogo shine with unimpeeded dark allure, even with the harshness. A good example is 'Waves", a classic darkwave number touches just enough dance sensibilities to be above most of the others. Really though, the number that follows, the instrumental "Sussurus" allows the band its gothic crown. A better integrated mix of such on the next release would do the band well. One cannot overlook the iconic members of Psychophile; they add dimension and force to their music creation with presence of self. Soon, songs like "The Otherside" might be reveled for their auspiciousness. They're getting close, their swan song classic is yet to be realized. Contact: http://www.psychophile.co.uk
