Psymon Spine – Boys

Brooklyn band Psymon Spine has released a new single, the infectious “Boys” which exemplifies the band’s unique ability to craft music that is both introspective and danceable.

The track was written after the band’s Sabine Holler moved to Berlin but she lends her voice to the song:

Cycling around and I’m going to lose it

It’s never too late

to know what I’m not supposed to show

Around her dreamy vocals guitars tweak out, a strident run of synthesizers. All of it creates a feeling of psychic unease. “By nature every Psymon Spine song must be a little cheeky to bypass our own self-criticism, but in reality ‘Boys’ is just a very earnest song about friendship,” the band notes. “Early on in the pandemic Sabine moved back to Germany and we weren’t sure what was going to happen, either to us as a unit or to the entire world. We went to Peter’s childhood home in Boston for a few days and fleshed out a demo that Michael had started a couple weeks earlier. We sent it to Sabine who almost immediately replied with the same vocal take you hear on the song today.” The video is directed by Bucky Boudreau.

Psymon Spine recently announced a U.S. tour with dates kicking off this Friday, October 13 in Madison, WI and concluding with a hometown show in Brooklyn, NY on October 26.
