Together since 1993, Psycho-Path have gained a lot of respect on the scene. Even from such prolific artists as Scott McCloud, Dälek, Josh Homme and many more. Touring all over Europe and with 4 full length albums (with the 5th one coming out in March 2008), this is a band with experience.

In July 2007, the band entered the studio with producer Bobby MacIntyre (ex- member of The Twilight Singers, also worked with Bad Brains, Jimmy Girl, Lucinda Williams, Mark Lanegan…) to record their fifth full-length album. Late night sessions, drinking too much whiskey, half-awake percussion recordings, tambourine overdose, metronomes gone amok… The final result? “The Ass-Soul of Psycho-Path”. The first album recorded with the new line up and the most varied, eclectic, yet accessible Psycho-Path album to date. Also featuring a special guest on the back vocals, on the epic ‘Bekkognition’ – Scott Bennett (Brian Wilson’s band, also worked with Flaming Lips, Filter, The Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, The Twilight Singers…).

The band met up with the independent multi-genre label Moonlee Records in 2007 and decided to join forces and release their new album with them in 2008. Since both parties work with a DIY aesthetic, yet still think a few steps ahead, this is a logical union of some of the most active and hardworking individuals in the scene.

“The Ass-Soul of Psycho-Path” coming out in March 2008 on Moonlee Records, with a promotional tour all over Europe to follow. Check ‘em out live. Be ahead of the pack, so you can say: “I was there.”
