Firewater - Psychopharmacology - CD

With Psychopharmacology, the New York quartet delivers its third album. Here in a line-up whose members can later be found with Botanica, Gogol Bordello or Balkan Beatbox, among others.

Frontman Tod A. is one of those whose lyrics are just as valuable as the music he writes. His black humor and sarcasm is incomparably evil and yet full of humor. In contrast to the dark lyrics, the album features exuberant rock that almost completely dispenses with the klezmer elements of previous albums and seems a bit more "poppy".

Enriched with mellotron, sitar, violins and piano, "Psychopharmacology" presents itself as another stylistic turnaround and is perhaps even the highlight of his time in New York.
