Why you'll love it. Upon its release in 2013, Psychic became notorious for its refusal to even gesture at a cohesive genre. But even accounting for Harringtons Les Paul, its not a stretch to imagine that Jaar was trying to channel a mindset as much as a sound, one that prioritized collaboration and improvisation over isolation. Harrington agreed with this assessment. "More important than genre," Harrington concluded, "is method. I think there's a method to what Nico and I share, embracing spontaneity, trust, and improvisation. We're gonna try anything, really. If we have an idea, we'll chase it and see where it takes us." So how did Psychic manage to collapse decades of psychedelia, jazz, dub, and electronic into one album? According to Harrington, "We got there because we weren't thinking about it."
