I truly never know what to expect with each Burial Hex release, but I'm always excited to hear about anything new. So when this release popped up, seemingly out of nowhere, I was pleased to say the least. Clay Ruby is consistently changing up his sound. After last years absolutely mind blowing release, "Book of Delusions", I've been craving any new sounds from this project.
"In Psychic Defense" certainly does not disappoint. A tad more subdued than the last release, but definitely overflowing with creativity. This release is one long 20 minute or so track. If you pick up the vinyl release, the track is on one side of the LP, while the flip side is simply blank. The track starts off rather unexpectedly. A very simple electronic beat permeates the background. The first half of the track is filled with an almost Joy Division like quality. Lyrics like "A world without end" keep you honed in on this beautifully simple section.
