Swiss electronic/dark disco/synth wave duo Psycho Weazel have premiered the video for their newest single “Mains D’Argile feat. Curses“.
The track features on their upcoming EP ‘Mains d’argile’, set to arrive on January 26 via Iptamenos Discos. Pre-order it here.
The duo’s musical love story began at summer camp, where the two Swiss born musicians shared their playlists with one another. Sharing playlists led to sharing dreams, and so Psycho Weazel was born. A retro-futuristic electronic spectacle, their music blends indie-dance, cold wave and EBM.
From their studio on the shore of Lake Neuchâtel, they have created an impressive catalogue of elegant and joyful dance music. ‘Mains d’argile’ has a range of sounds from new wave, indie dance, italo disco and house and features Curses, Local Suicide, as well as remixes from Marvin & Guy and Rafael Cerato.
The title track ‘Mains d’argile’, features New York born, Berlin based artist Curses, who is hot off the heels of the Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX compilation he curated.
Psycho Weazel describe the single as “a hymn to disappearance that turns into medicine for damaged partygoers”. The track is certainly godly with its transcendent intro – long, echoing and expansive, it sprays the listener with melancholic dew and then drops into somewhere present, with tight drums and a strong synth melody, guided by Curses’ haunting vocal. Layers of sounds that are both grounded and soaring, bridging the gap between heaven and earth. The track ends with a wailing lead guitar, whose tone embodies a sense of longing and escapism.
