PSYCHIC ILLS

Feature: 9.6SE

Music

Psychic Ills hail from Brooklyn, New York, and have been pumping out their brand of experimental, drone, electronic-centered improv music since the good ol’ days of 2003. As I prepared for this interview with guitarist Tres Warren, (a man whom Aldus Huxley would likely call a phanerothyme rocker), I encountered many of the same questions I’d heard them answer over and over again. So, I decided to see what anybody would want to ask the band, and not just me, a scumbag music writer. I posted flyers all around my neighborhood, and some in record stores, that read, “I am interviewing Psychic Ills. If you have any questions for them please call or text (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Submission deadline is November 11th at 1pm.” I received many texts (some real, and some just telling me to “fuck off”), from all types of people ranging from prostitutes to friendly sports guys who like kindness and sharing.
