    By means of a transcendent function we gain access to other worlds and avant-ritualists, itchy-O, delivers with their new musical work, Mystic Spy | Psykho Dojo. This new concept record is a magnificent vehicle that takes us to other dimensions and launches full throttle into two different deeply abstract worlds.

    Following their first two releases (Burn the Navigator and From the Overflowing) on the legendary punk rock label Alternative Tentacles, itchy-O decided to release this highly ambitious album on their own new label they are calling Mettle Studios. With 26 musicians and well over 100 tracks on many of the songs, the self-described “savagely sophisticated” experimental orchestra has completely outdone themselves. Along with the seven tracks on the record there are seven 32 second short vignettes that all end in lock-grooves on either side of the vinyl. And as if this is not enough, they have also released, along side of the vinyl, a zine publication titled Idra & Scepter. Once you have figured out the puzzle inside this zine, you can log in to an interactive site that allows you to not only listen to the digital version of the lock-grooves but also layer, record, and download your own versions.

about

“Black Mist” ends… and just as you catch your breath, “Ghosts of Treason” hits you from behind with a sonic boom. Shrapnel, glass, and the guts of a thousand unwanted stuffed thrift store animals rain down gently like nuclear fallout as the band lays ground for what is easy to imagine as some sort intergalactic game of cat-and-mouse until the bottom falls out into a sleepy terrain of extremely precarious and murky footing at which the only logical thing to do is stop and rest. Of course, there is no resting for long as another explosive blast carries you into a fractal maze of what seems like the point you started from. The song twists and turns, stops, sends some sort of urgent morse code message and then drops you off — lost, on some desolate and empty corner of the universe.
