When “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1” landed, it didn’t feel like another album release. It felt more like stepping into someone’s internal monologue — messy, poetic, and surprisingly comforting. The New Citizen Kane doesn’t hold your hand through this 17-track experience. He lets you wander, trip, and connect the dots on your own. It’s the kind of record that asks for your attention without ever shouting for it. From the intro “Welcome To Psychedelika” to the hypnotic “Ratbag Joy” (Radio Mix), the album draws on electronic textures, spoken-word reflections, and moments of soft introspection. My Muse feels like an open letter to creativity itself. It’s brief, but it leaves a mark. Right after that, Heads Are Round sneaks in with psychedelic synths and a layered atmosphere that draws you in.
The transitions are part of the magic. San Diego brings in a hazy, nostalgic glow, while Well, Damn! Here You Are flips the energy with a punchy rhythm and clever vocal drops. Kane doesn’t stick to one mood. He lets the songs speak for themselves, and somehow, it all makes sense together. Bite The Bullet hits hard. It’s vulnerable, with no polish or protection. The emotion cuts through without being dramatic. Then Afterglow softens everything, like the moment after a storm when you’re not quite okay but somehow calm. That duality runs all across the album. You’ll catch it in the quiet confidence of Tokyo Pink, and again in the playful honesty of It’s Saturday and I’m High.
I love how this album holds tension and release side by side. The production never tries too hard to impress, and Kane’s voice always finds the right tone for the moment. I kept coming back to tracks because each listen opened something new. It’s layered without being confusing, emotional without being heavy-handed. Make sure to follow The New Citizen Kane and add “PSYCHEDELIKA Pt.1” to your playlist. It’s the kind of album that grows on you the more you sit with it. Whether you dive into the lyrics or let it play while you’re walking late at night, there’s something here worth returning to. Kane’s onto something real, and you’ll want to be there for whatever’s next.
Listening to songs so you don’t have to! Just kidding :D, you totally should. Music blogger by day, nurse by night
