CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED HEARTS EP OUT NOW
"With 'Wonderchamber'...each element is fully defined
and three-dimensional — every syllable, every note stretched to its full
potential, adding an irresistible and disturbing brightness to the
"vibrant hell" being described."
- SPIN
“[‘Baby Cops’] is unabashed late-night loft music with a
watery futuro groove, lyrics about candlestick battles and a bouncy beat
steeped in impeccable production.”
- RCRD LBL
PSYCHOBUILDINGS release Hearts
(Remixes) today via WonderSound Records. The Remixes EP
follows the recent release and success of theHearts EP (July 2012),
and features remixes from Wool, AIMES, Discmann & Sixtraxx, Peter Wade,
HedNorton's Touch, F.r.a.c.t.a.l, and The Statue of David. Full track listing
is below.
PSYCHOBUILDINGS is a thrilling electronic dance rock
collective from New York City. Fronted by the electrifying singer,
dancer, and artist Peter LaBier, the band has been independently releasing
music and performing since early 2010. After releasing only six songs,
PSYCHOBUILDINGS received attention from most major national music blogs,
including Pitchfork, Stereogum, SPIN, and Brooklyn Vegan. Fader Magazine
asserted that PSYCHOBUILDINGS was "made for success" (Hockley-Smith,
2010).
PSYCHOBUILDINGS have several upcoming NYC performances
scheduled, including a set at 285 Kent on September 6th with Grand Resort and
Life Size Maps (8pm) and a set at Grand Victory on September 7th with Steel
Phantoms (7:30pm). PSYCHOBUILDINGS' live performance pairs percussive
vocal deliveries with angular and spasmodic dance moves reminiscent of James
Brown, Michael Jackson, and David Byrne. To preview a PSYCHOBUILDINGS live
show, you can watch the band perform “No Man’s Land” fromPsychobuildings on Pitchfork’s Tunnelvision.
The band is currently in the studio working on their first full length with producer Peter Wade (MNDR, Jennifer Lopez, Melanie Fiona).

“Psychobuildings steal some disco signposts and flip them
backwards so you think you're on your way to a strobe-lit dancefloor but
instead you wake up in a poppy field a few hours later with only vague memories
of sequenced synth stabs and someone doing a sick Robert Smith via Joe Strummer
croon, and about three cubic tons of weed smoke hovering like a storm cloud
over everything.”
- IMPOSE MAGAZINE
“It’s funny because we were just thinking about what it
would’ve sounded like if Suicide had been produced by Nile Rodgers, like super
crisp and clear and still possibly insane but brain patterns completely
legible. So now that you’re thinking about that too, here is Brooklyn’s
Psychobuildings."
- THE FADER
“Rather than invoking the chart-busting high-drama of
Eurythmics' ilk mind, [Peter LaBier] opts for a dancefloor dynamic that sounds
like a late Eighties 'jackin'-house style remix you'd get on the B-side to a
David Byrne and Robert Smith collaborative single, probably recorded for an
AIDS charity.”
- NME
“Let’s imagine that Talking Heads was female and The Clash
was male and they had a child she never told him about. Like, “Oh hey The
Clash. This is Psychobuildings, your child. Sorry about all the weird samples,
I had an affair with Kraftwerk when he was very young.”
