Liner Notes
Psychoschizophrenia is a work on which LILLIAN AXE, while keeping the melodic sense of melodic hard rock, stepped into a darker texture and a complex sway of emotion. The guitar moves between flashy hooks and ominous ringing, and the rhythm quietly pushes out the drama of each song. It is a record on which the band’s introspective depth grew even stronger.
On “Cruefield,” “Sign of the Times” and “Psychoschizophrenia,” the lingering scent of a flamboyant era and a 1990s shadow coexist. Songs like “Deepfreeze,” “Those Who Pray” and “Deep Blue Shadows” breathe the band’s full playing too. The vocals bring into the songs not only strength but a nuance evoking hesitation and pain. It is a full record to listen to with awareness of the darkness of tone and the stickiness of rhythm behind the memorable phrases.
