  1. 8.0 |   Q

    Fans of early Beck, Spacemen 3 and Galaxie 500 will love it. Print edition only

  2. 7.8 |   Beats Per Minute

  8. 5.2 |   Bowlegs

    It feels like Psychic Ills have given up the exploration and the experimenting, and have instead settled in a rather dull place. Shame really

  9. 4.0 |   The 405

    When put in the same context as contemporaries such as Tame Impala, Psychic Ills simply pale in comparison due to their refusal to push any kind of envelope
