THE PSYCHOGEOGRAPHICAL COMMISSION is a post-industrial
neofolk/dark ambient band based between Glasgow and Newcastle in
the UK. The Commission was formed at the start of 2008, by S.:
(real-world instruments and vocals) and Hokano (unreal
instruments), to explore the many interfaces between the built
environment and the people who inhabit it through dΘrive, magick
and sonic experimentation. After a great deal of time wandering
the back streets of London and other large cities looking for
the spirits which now dwell within them, they came to the
conclusion that the psychological make-up of cities is now at
odds with the population's inherent rural based mythology.
People aren't evolving to cope with cities fast enough to keep
up with the constantly shifting cityscape. To start approaching
a remedy for this they set about creating music which blurs the
line between the real and imagined landscapes in order to allow
individuals to revaluate their own mythologies and provide new
ideas to bring them closer to harmony with their urban
surroundings.
Named after the Roman mythological 'Spirit of the Place', the
album ("Genius Loci") attempts to explore further the
Psychogeographical nature of our built environment and is
therefore written to be played whilst interacting with a city.
The album was originally released as a CDR at the beginning of
2009 but sold out due to overwhelmingly positive reviews. It
has now been re-mastered, re-packaged and glass-mastered and is
presented in a slimline DVD-sized box.
"Fans of Coil and Nurse with Wound may stumble upon a familiar
brilliance here and would do well to pick this one up if you can
find it." - Zero Tolerance Magazine
"From the packaging to the music 'Genius Loci' is a mesmerizing
piece of work, one that consistently entertains, intrigues and
inspires." - Compulsion Online
"I was totally taken by surprise. THE PSYCHOGEOGRAPHICAL
COMMISSION is the highlight of my year so far." - Heathen
Harvest
"How can you waste time thinking about it? Purchase it now or
miss this opportunity to discover a remarkable album" - Judas
Kiss Magazine
