Psycheclectic

quot;...The results are exceptional and impressive.quot; Tim Batcup - Classic Rock Magazine, quot;Weikart also knows his way round a doomy riff and a grunge melody. ...Contemporary touchstones are Type O Negative and Mastodon's artier moments.quot; A second review by Classic Rock Magazine later that same year, Rich Wilson, quot;...Obscured By Clouds unquestionably have immense potential. ...Heavy psychedelic twists...The band manage to create pieces that veer from the more extreme, doom-laden riffs to the occasional lilting ballad, and surprisingly it's a blend that works well.quot; quot;Their sound also reflects the spacey, electronic-induced psychedelia of that era with modern sound reinforcements and technological digital enhancements. ...Art rock band...William Weikart is the brain trust and founder of the ensemble...Playing guitars, Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, and oscillators, Weikart formed a new personalized approach to Pink Floyd's music without covering their material, but instead attempting to expand on it from his own perspective.quot; Michael Nastos - All Music Guide This new release already has local radio support and has hit the ground running with great Northwest Radio support and airplay on KNRK 94.7/HD and KUFO 101.1 Classic Rock both in Portland, Oregon where the band began. The CD is awaiting cue humbly placed in KEXP Seattle's library and has radio show support from KISW Seattle Classic Rock. How about something completely different?

This new original music is a great example of what freeform, selfless, and independent music can be accomplished with a very modest budget, delivered with solid production, and within a truly independent format. Independent music is where all the potential is, and this album is a great example of what is possible beyond all the limitations music faces today. The live band currently features William Weikart on vocals, guitars, and synthesizers, and is fleshed out by Kevin Cozad (piano, synthesizers, vocals), Reinhardt Melz (drums), Phil Baker (bass), and Matthew Bradley (guitars). Their live performances create a unique blend of resonance and transcendence from their debut full-length CD, quot;Psycheclecticquot;.

It's an aural entente between UK and US psych templates, no less...quot; The Reviews Editor - Shindig! Magazine London (UK) quot;There is so much going on within this album that it takes many plays to fully explore the multi layers and sometimes disguised dimensions it contains. The production...is first class. ...Both psychedelic and eclectic drawing from not only Floyd influences but releasing those energies and letting them go on their own journey...not only rewarding but is also fascinating and compelling. It is a brave move... Jeff Perkins Blog Critics Magazine published in - The Seattle Examiner Online quot;...The album tak
