  1. Hi Guys,

    Long time no posting here, but I still read this forum,
    anyway, for those who are interested, we (Psy'Aviah) have a new release coming up, mor info below!

    It’s official now, our new album ‘Eclectric’ and accompanying ‘Eclectric Deluxe Edition (+bonus CD Eclectricism)’ will be released on March the third 2010. Though presales kick off today as of today, so hurry and get your copy now!
    Information:

    Since their creation in 2003, Belgium’s electronic music trio PSY’AVIAH have always adopted a more open-minded artistic approach to music, by not being pulled by the current trends or other obvious scene expectations. By constructing their musical pallet from their own experiences, exploring multiple subcultures, meeting different people and artists, and incorporating all these numerous impressions and visual influences into their own work, PSY’AVIAH is truly an artistic force to be reckoned with.
    A refreshing and successful recipe for this breakthrough new 3rd album so perfectly and aptly titled “Eclectric”! And it’s no surprise to us that PSY’AVIAH hits a very diversified audience with their music reaching fans of electronic music but also of more alternative pop rock tunes and even dark industrial wave.
    Emélie’s sensual and emotional female vocals give a delicious taste of purity to Yves’ futuristic vicious synths and ferocious upbeat electronic arrangements. An exploding cocktail of attractions and contradictions braving all the forbidden rules, fusing modern techno with melodic pop rock, poignant dark EBM sequences with ambient relaxing moments.

    &PSY’AVIAH will surely again perplex music journalists who will desperately trying to pigeonhole them in a specific music genre/category. Regardless of definitions and genres, PSY’AVIAH will above all bring us splendid emotional moments with their more down-tempo moody songs in the likes of “Blackhole”, “Attract/Reject” or yet “Something Evil”, while pushing us straight onto the dancefloors with new club hits “Anger Management”, the provocative “No Excuse” and the dynamic poppy “Keep Hope Alive”.

    Faithful to their concept, the Belgian act also continues developing a network of fruitful collaborations bringing us this time impressive results on Ophélie” featuring Jean-Luc De Meyer of FRONT 242 as guest “poet” and the dancefloor filler Into The Game” with Jennifer Parkin of AYRIA as lead vocalist.

    The deluxe limited edition of the album also features many more collaborations on the “Eclectricism” bonus disc on which PSY’AVIAH dared pushing back all preconceived boundaries they had never explored thus far. Taking the opportunity to display more ENYA-esque moments while going totally harsh dark elektro at other moments. Collaborators include Kristell Lowagie, Sowphie, IC 434, Acylum, Encoder, Sebastian Komor, EX.ES, Dead Errant Soul, Essence Of Mind, Studio-X, Implant

    “Rules are made to be broken”… so don’t wait any longer and get your PSY’AVIAH upgrade today and be ready for some uplifting electric eclecticism…

    The snippets hint at something even better as your first album.

  7. @x-noize: thanks a lot!

    @djtekslave: I do hope so, we tried combining everything we learned over the past years.. Focusing more on songwriting, cohesion, vocals and sound design..

    I forgot to add, mastering was done by Geert de Wilde from IC 434, who also assisted us during mixing and also does our live mixing..

  9. I wasn't masively fond of what I heard from the last PsyAviah album, but after having listened to these previews I have to say I'm pretty stoked for this. There's some absolutely cracking sounding stuff on there - it seems catchy and danceable and fun while still sounding original and interesting :)

  10. Damn, too late for an edit :(
    Just to say though, after reading the Alfa-Matrix press release, I have to inquire about the so-called "Enya-esque moments on the second disc"... One of my all time most embarrassing admissions is that I actually quite enjoyed her first album... well, if I was in a particularly camp fairies-and-unicorns type of mood :P
    Just wondering how accurate that statement is, because although I really can't imagine PsyAviah doing Enya, I always enjoy a good bit of ambient/space music :)

    Hmm, just checked out the snippets. Some of those songs could tear up a floor, but the album also appears to have many other qualities that I look for in music these days. I may get this :)

  12. @Rogue: Thanks. Yes the album is another evolution, if you compare it to the previous one.. About that ENYA-esque track, on the limited edition is a song that can vaguely remind you of ENYA, it's called "Memoires".. We just experimented a bit with vocals, piano and above all no drums :)

    @Mike P. & @Siglo: cool, thanks :)
