Psychedelic Horseshit

Matt Whitehurst (aka Matt Horseshit), the de facto head of Columbus, Ohio noise-mongers Psychedelic Horseshit, promises the music group first played in public areas in nov 2005 when he plus some close friends scammed their method onto the stage in a hippie jam music group celebration in Delaware State; asked with the MC for the group’s name, he stated, “Just give us a call Psychedelic Horseshit.” Because the star provides it, the music group unexpectedly proceeded to go over with the nuevo-hippie market, as well as the name trapped. While Whitehurst (electric guitar, keyboards, and vocals) and his musical partner Full Johnston (percussion) don’t audio psychedelic, a minimum of in the original sense, the wealthy, organic funk of the next section of their name strikes home, because the music group conjures an audio that recalls the first lo-fi test of Pavement, the arch and angular strike from the Fall, as well as the loud joie de vivre of the close friends and Siltbreeze labelmates Moments New Viking. (Whitehurst, a My Bloody Valentine enthusiast, in addition has coined the expression “shitgaze” to spell it out their musical strategy.) Using battered devices (including a cardboard container pressed into program being a kick drum) and low-tech four-track saving devices, Psychedelic Horseshit’s preliminary releases had been homemade small-run CD-Rs offering game titles like Blown Loudspeaker Standards and Ruler Tubby’s Baddness Dub, until regional label Columbus Price cut Singles Club released a vinyl fabric 7″ entitled Who Allow Canines Out. The single’s initial pressing sold-out quickly, and in middle-2007 a five-song vinyl fabric EP, New Influx Hippies, hit shops. A few a few months afterwards, Psychedelic Horseshit’s first full-length record, Magic Bouquets Droned, premiered by Siltbreeze. Bassist Jason Roxas made an appearance on many of the group’s early recordings, however in 2008 the group announced it had been buying new bass participant. The location was later packed by Ryan Jewell, who helped move Psychedelic Horseshit in a far more electronic direction. Aside from producing information when Whitehurst bashed fellow lo-fi performers Wavves no Age within the press, the music group laid low before discharge of its 2011 record, Laced.
