Perhaps you saw it coming: a new LP from psych-y New York experimentalists Psychic Ills. The band's sophomore set is entitled Mirror Eye, and it's due January 20 from the Social Registry.

The clairvoyant in me-- and this handy press release, I should add-- notes that Mirror Eye won't be the last we hear from these Ills in the new year, as they're already cooking up a mini-LP called Catoptric to follow the album's release. A remix project is in the works as well.

In the meantime, Psychic Ills have lined up a smattering of shows with some (other) awesome weirdos. I can't always say for sure what's next, but a schedule for all that might just be found below.

Mirror Eye:

01 Mantis
02 Meta
03 Sub Synth
04 Eyes Closed
05 I Take You as My Wife Again
