    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

After “Pole Star,” Itchy-O then leads us to the “The Silver River” where they paint another not so distant otherworldly landscape. This one, too, is expansive and has an atmospheric surrounding feel. We hear the calls of what sound like alien birds mixed with the murmuring and howls of samurai ghosts as horns from distant mountains call to each other while you float gently on the current of some meditative melody played on a mystical flute. But, of course, this enchanted world does not stay serene for long. Chaos again ensues. This time from every angle and frequency, only to drop you off on the backs of Asian yaks storming across a Mongolian terrain where they eventually stop to meet a lost calvary of spirits from the American Civil war… yeah, there’s some crazy astrological East meets West in this song as Itchy-O stays true to their “all is fair game” archetypal pallet of inspiration.
