A stream of consciousness journey through the nostalgic reverie of a Catholic schoolgirl torn between perfectionism and desire with crunchy guitars that sound like blades scraping against ice and whispering vocals that mimic an eraser rubbing across the page.   Red Knee Socks is the new release from Psych-O-Positive timed to commemorate the 100th birthday of Jack Kerouac; it is equal parts poetry and indie rock greatness.  It’s everything you don’t want to remember but can’t bring yourself to forget.

Red Knee Socks

Blood (coming out of her whatever)

Shattered Mirror World

The song 75, is an upbeat reflection of life, back in the year 1975

”Make Me Wanna” riffs on a song by 60’s garage band called The Prophets (check out their single “Yes I Know” on Pebbles Comp Vol.010). However the similarity ends there, as the song veers from VU swing into a Who-based tangent and back again.

Make Me Wanna

Psych-O-Positive Live at The Sidewalk Cafe 2.17.16

Blood (Coming out of Her Whatever) is the dis track of this moment; an unflinching denunciation of the current political order. Psych-O-Positive has captured the zeitgeist and Greg Talenfeld has lent his talents to a band that he might understand better than anyone.

Blood (Coming out of her Whatever) Talenfeld Remix

Reverse Polarity was recorded at Salon B in Ottawa. Improvised live off the floor.

Reverse Polarity

We are psych-O-positive, universal donor of sonic psychedelia; getting together, bending the string till it's so tight you feel it's about to snap, but it never does: it just vibrates on a higher frequency.
