Origins And Primitives Vols. 1 & 2

Origins and Primitives is not a new studio album but rather documents the formation of the group's sound with a collection of home recordings. Far from the 'in the red' sound of Gamelan, Origins and Primitives explores the quieter side of The Psychic Paramount with pulsing guitar tones, looped feedback and mellow electro-acoustic compositions.

As rock bands go, The Psychic Paramount is a rigorously all-in proposition. No testing these waters. More than suddenly you are in, covered, drenched, exhilarated and wondering if you are in over your head, all in the same moment, all at once. But diving in headfirst (or were you thrown?) is itself only the jumping-off point. You weren't told to take a deep breath first because it wouldn't matter, you don't hold your breath that long; no one does. You are going to learn to live in this atmosphere. You are going to be pressed against the sky and held there, fully conscious, locked-in and cut loose. You may never feel more free to simply like a band for what it does.
