PSYENCE RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE RELEASE ‘YOU & I' AND ANNOUNCE UK TOUR DATES THIS OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER

“A frantic game of snakes and ladders through the kaleidoscopic soundscape” 
NME

“All soaring riffs and sweeping vocals… an intense listen, one that focuses the flamboyance of Psyence into some serious elixir for the third eye” 
Clash Magazine

“The melodic sensibilities of Tame Impala with the rhythmic thud of ‘Exterminator’-era Primal Scream, classic Can and the bludgeoning blues riffs of The Dead Weather” 
The Quietus

“Face melting rock that sounds like Wooden Shjips drowning in a thick, molten vat of acidic organs and churning riffs” 
Q Magazine

PSYENCE have announced their return this October with an infectious new single ‘You & I’ and a series of live dates this October.

Blurring the lines of 60's Americana garage rock and flirting with modern-day psychedelia such as Pond and Temples, Psyence is an intense chemical reaction of face-melting riffs, dynamic vocals and groove-based rhythms that have been locked away up north to slowly mature away before they break out this year.

The 4-piece from Stoke-On-Trent are a band that continue to step into new frontiers. Following on from their acclaimed singles 'Chemicals For Breakfast' and ‘Phoenix’, Psyence will now release another heavyweight single ‘You & I’, mixed by James Aparicio (Grinderman, These New Puritans, Spiritualized, Liars). While it’s more assured, more confident, and more tightly wound than their previous output, it’s another dynamic piece to the armoury that bears the unmistakable sound of Psyence.

Already lauded by the likes of NME, Clash Magazine, Q Magazine, The Quietus, Artrocker and The Guardian, as well as being hailed "the best live band" he'd seen in 10 years by The Charlatan's Martin Blunt following their Liverpool Festival of Psychadelia performance, Psyence are rapidly becoming much much more than just a new ‘one to watch’.

‘You & I’ will be released on October 23rd 2015 through Salvation Records. Psyence will hit the road on a series of UK tour dates throughout October and November.

LIVE DATES;

Stoke, Sugarmill 17th October
Leicester, Soundhouse 29th October
Nottingham, Jam Cafe 30th October
London, Powerlunches 31st October
Minehead, Shiiine On Weekender, 6th November
Manchester, Retro Bar 26th November
Sunderland, The Corner Flag 28th November


Psyence You & I

swing, swing
swing by a thread
why do the things that i love,
always leave me for dead.
everytime i get knocked down, face to the floor
from rolling my dice,
playing tug of war.
don’t let me fall
(don’t let me, don’t let me)
no, don’t let me fall by the wayside.
creep, creep through the dead of the night,
the hardest of times bring the strangest delight.
you got to burn baby burn when the gr*ss is dry,
if i go down in flames call it the fourth of july.
don’t let me fall
(don’t let me, don’t let me)
no, don’t let me fall by the wayside.
ring, ring, it rings in my head,
that one little voice, i’d pay to forget.
oh yeah it moves like venom running cold in my veins.
i rather sleep by myself and die from the pain.
don’t let me fall
(don’t let me, don’t let me)
no, don’t let me fall by the wayside.
