  • Psychic Ills is an experimental band from New York. The band, made up of Elizabeth Hart, Brian Tamborello, Tres Warren and Tom Gluibizzi, took shape sometime during 2003. Electronic-centered home recording led to a self-released 7-inch, Mental Violence I, after which the group became fully engaged in the New York music scene, toured the North East and recorded their first record for The Social Registry, a 12-inch; Mental Violence II. Their first full length, Dins, was released in early 2006 complete with the painting, 'Three Hairs and Shadow’ by German Fluxus artist Wolf Vostell as the cover art. After Dins was released, the band embarked on a full year of touring which included shows with Indian Jewelry, Ariel Pink and Blood On The Wall to name a few. Early Violence, a collection of early and out of print tracks was released later that year as well. The Village Voice bestowed them "Best Psych Rock Band" in their 2006 Best of NYC issue but, by the time the year came to an end, Tom Gluibizzi had parted ways and the band re-configured as a trio. Around this time, Tres, Brian and Elizabeth began appearing in a host of projects outside Psychic Ills. Brian Tamborello became a staple of the Boredoms Boadrum projects and played drums on Mike Wexler's record Sun Wheel. Elizabeth Hart lent her bass skills to Effi Briest and formed the avant garde dance and music ensemble Skint with fellow NY-based musicians and dancers, including members of Excepter and Telepathe. Tres Warren took up the drone exploration project, Messages, with Taketo Shimada, who released a single as part of The Social Registry's Social Club series and have since completed a record. He also took part in the more electronic oriented Brainscan (with Nathan Corbin of Excepter) and Compound Eye as well as the African guitar-inspired project Golden Tongues (with Matty McDermott of Nymph). He performed live with former Can singer Damo Suzuki’s Network during this time as well. At the same time, the band began jamming with new band member Jimy SeiTang on keyboards & synthesizers. The band re-emerged in the summer of 2007. The group has also come to frequently perform with a visual accompaniment or projections, often by their friend Rich Cohen. In early 2008 they were flown to the art enclave Marfa, Texas to perform, and at the end of the year to the Contemporary Art Museum in Bordeaux France for the IAO festival. In early 2009 their second full-length, the largely improvised Mirror Eye, was released .

La musique du quatuor est un véritable patchwork de genres variés, allant du drone au krautrock (pour la rythmique tribale), d'une pop psychédélique à du rock noisy expérimental. Le groupe est signé sur le label new-yorkais The Social Registry.
