Psychosynthesis

Description

Psychosynthesis takes listeners on a vibrant journey through Greg Foat’s dream-like and entrancing musical world, blending jazz-funk, ambient, Balearic, and other spacey sunset-tinged sounds. Combining vintage synths with recent modular gear, the album offers a richly textured, warm analogue voyage into outer space and back.

Highlights abound, from the floating underwater sensation of “The Green Odyssey” to the pulsating urgency of “Psychosynthesis (Part 1)” and the hypnotic allure of “Underwater Fantasy.” Foat’s subtle waves of synth serenity and seductive rhythms throughout the album create an understatedly sensuous vibe, making Psychosynthesis a deeply rewarding listening experience. Supported by drummer Morgan Simpson of Black Midi, Foat demonstrates his visionary prowess, crafting an ambitious and diverse soundscape that stands as one of the year’s most intriguing releases.
