Psy'aviah: ECLECTRIC + ECLECTRICISM (2CD BOX)

Since their creation in 2003, Belgium’s electronic music trio PSY’AVIAH have always adopted a more open-minded artistic approach to music, by not being pulled by the current trends or other obvious scene expectations. By constructing their musical pallet from their own experiences, exploring multiple sub-cultures, meeting different people and artists, and incorporating all these numerous impressions and visual influences into their own work, PSY’AVIAH is truly an artistic force to be reckoned with.A refreshing and successful recipe for this breakthrough new 3rd album so perfectly and aptly titled “Eclectric”! And it’s no surprise to us that PSY’AVIAH hits a very diversified audience with their music reaching fans of electronic music but also of more alternative pop rock tunes and even dark industrial wave. Emélie’s sensual and emotional female vocals give a delicious taste of purity to Yves’ futuristic vicious synths and ferocious upbeat electronic arrangements. An exploding cocktail of attractions and contradictions braving all the forbidden rules, fusing modern techno with melodic pop rock, poignant dark EBM sequences with ambient relaxing moments.PSY’AVIAH will surely again perplex music journalists who will desperately trying to pigeonhole them in a specific music genre/category. Regardless of definitions and genres, PSY’AVIAH will above all bring us splendid emotional moments with their more down-tempo moody songs in the likes of “Blackhole”, “Attract/Reject” or yet “Something Evil”, while pushing us straight onto the dancefloors with new club hits “Anger Management”, the provocative “No Excuse” and the dynamic poppy “Keep Hope Alive”.Faithful to their concept, the Belgian act also continues developing a network of fruitful collaborations bringing us this time impressive results on “Ophélie” featuring Jean-Luc De Meyer of FRONT 242 as guest “poet” and the dancefloor filler “Into The Game” with Jennifer Parkin of AYRIA as lead vocalist.The deluxe limited edition of the album also features many more collaborations on the “Eclectricism” bonus disc on which PSY’AVIAH dared pushing back all preconceived boundaries they had never explored thus far. Taking the opportunity to display more ENYA-esque moments while going totally harsh dark elektro at other moments.
