Scott Kelly (Neurosis) and producer / engineer / sonic warlord Sanford Parker are restless. While the two already work together in Corrections House, a project that also features the talents of Mike IX Williams of Eyehategod and Bruce Lamont of Yakuza, this inquietude has culminated in another collaboration.

Where Corrections House is hell-bent on impersonal bludgeon and unfettered terror, Mirrors for Psychic Warfare are far more restrained. The band’s haunting self-titled debut is the sonic manifestation of insomnia, complete with the tossing, turning and perennial dread that comes with facing another shabby daylight. These five pieces lurch and pulsate across a desolate landscape with a curious obsessiveness. Mirrors for Psychic Warfare may remind some of the best releases on the classic Cold Meat Industry label, but the familiar Kelly- / Parker-isms scattered throughout give the album its own identity. The work has more in common with a fever or a fitful wraith than a simple record.
