In the words of our photographer Joe Perez, “bands that dim the lights to such extremes really make me want to go out and buy some fancy flash for my camera. But bands like Psychic Ills reinforce my hatred for flash photography.”
True. Also: Mirror Eye motif becomes material as bassist Elizabeth Hart wields a mirror's refracted light back at her audience devotees. It's a clever way to blast a hole into the act of “spacing out in the dark,” also in our photographer's words, that state of being that hums at the center of any Psychic Ills show.
