Hello everyone,
I just put up a rough mix up of Psychlical and thought I'd tell a little story about the song. I wrote this back in 2003 while I was working in a guitar shop in Colorado. I had become obsessed with "Blond Redhead" and was figuring out some of their songs. I found out they were using a different tuning, 1 e-flat, 2 a-flat, 3 f-sharp, 4 e-flat, 5 a-flat and 6 e-flat. It was nice but I took it down to dadfad.

I had been playing with the idea of cycles and circles in my head, and how one can get stuck in them or use them like a bird uses the rising warm air of a thermal to gain altitude. I was obsessed at how spirals appear so much in nature and some of the ideas in string theory (see "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene).

One day I was at home playing the song and trying to find a name for it and took the word cyclical;

cyclic |ˈsīklik; ˈsik-|
adjective
1 occurring in cycles; regularly repeated : nature is replete with cyclic processes | the cyclic pattern of the last two decades.

and put the prefix psych on it.

And Psychlical was born.

Even now it is one of my favorite songs to play. It's become almost a mantra for me and I love starting a concert with it to psych myself up;)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Joe
