“No Man’s Land”
Talk to the wind in the trenches crouch
See a long shot fall on the arms alarmed
With the lights off
In no man’s land
Where you dread to stalk with the candles out
On the night watch
In no man’s land
Where you have to crawl in the camouflage and pull the crops up
With the lights out
Common property
A company man until your limbs won’t bend in the dugouts
Salvage run with the well trained mobs
Not a shrub left to hug
Not one dumb crumb that you starve for
In no man’s land
Where you head to crawl with the candles out
Pull the crops up
And we mop up rot with the lights turned off
In no man’s land
Where you head to talk in the camouflage
Until the shots buzz
Can it some because your head goes numb
If you shout too loud then the bombs will come and take your tops off
In no man’s land
Where you have to crawl in the camouflage
Pull the crops up
In no man’s land
Where you dread to stalk with the candles out
On the night watch, on the night watch

After releasing two killer singles last year NYC’s Psychobuildings unveil their first 12″ record in EP format. Just shy of 20 minutes this slab of vinyl showcases the band’s already unbeatable dance numbers as well as some finely constructed psychedelic trance inducers heard previously only in their much buzzed about live set. Balancing New Romantic synth explorations with the beat boxing lyricism of Old School Hip-Hop Psychobuildings have come up sounding fresh in delivery and style. Front man Peter LaBier brings the guts back into pop with a feel for groove and and an ear for hooks. His spirited vocals recall legendary post-punk singers like Robert Smith and David Byrne while his frenetic dance moves would make the King of Pop smile. Produced by the band, mixed by hit making sound engineer Peter Wade and fleshed out by the synth wizardry of Peter Schuette and multi-instrumentalist Juan Pieczanski, the self-titled EP fires on all cylinders from start to finish.
Pre-order Psychobuildings EP, available in CD or 12″ vinyl. Street date is July 12th, 2011.
