Cerebral rock band Psychology have released “The Economy,” the latest single from their self-titled debut album out September 8th via Cart/Horse Records. The track speaks to having your perspective changed for the better after meeting somebody new, featuring compelling lyricism and strategically layered guitar solos. Check out the premiere from New Noise Magazine here.

As the band's first single "First Contact" focused on meeting the one and was inspired by the moment lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist John Atkinson met his wife, "The Economy" focuses on the road ahead. The breezy rock track's guitar work and endearing vocals depict a moment of realization during what seems like a straightforward and exciting time of a relationship.

“The Economy’ was, at first, an attempt at a candy pop song. I think I got that part down, but it also turned into something more. Something you can get lost in, like a love affair.”

— John Atkinson (multi-instrumentalist)

"The Economy" and "First Contact," two tracks from the upcoming self-titled album, soar with hazy vocals, heavy drums, and buzzing guitars before transitioning into a masterful guitar solo. Psychology's two singles give just a taste of what lies at its core. With 11 songs in all, this collection of love songs speaks to the heart and head of the listener as they tap into everyday challenges. With John performing guitar, bass, and vocals, drummer Dave Richman, and Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, The Juliana Hatfield Three) producing and engineering Psychology at Nuthouse Recording in New Jersey. 

With shoegaze fuzz, waves of distortion, and thoughtful and provocative vocals, Psychology sculpts cerebral rock based on the vision of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer John Atkinson. During his Master's degree at Temple University in Educational Psychology, John was inspired when he learned that music can have a positive impact on the brain — including fending off Alzheimer's and early dementia — and decided to improve his guitar skills and start creating his own music. With this release, the rest of the world will be able to experience the uplifting power of music as well.
