Psymon Spine—the Brooklyn, NY based music collective fusing psychedelic indie pop and the deep grooves of dance music—today announced Charismatic Mutations, a remix album of their 2021 album Charismatic Megafauna, will release April 1st, 2022 via Northern Spy Records and shared “Milk (feat. Barrie) – Joe Goddard Remix.” 

Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) shared the following note on the track rework: “This remix was very natural and very joyful for me.  I did it in lockdown so I felt a sense of freedom and playfulness that was really nice and actually, in retrospect, very unique.  I love the vocals on this song, so I placed them at the forefront, and I tried to sonically make the mix one that was balearic and satisfying.  Macrodosing.”

The members of Psymon Spine grew up in the ‘00s and ‘10s with a deep appreciation for the art of “the remix,” and after the release of their latest album Charismatic Megafauna, the band found themselves craving longer and more dance-floor friendly versions. 

Additional contributors to Charismatic Mutations include Love Injection, Dar Disku, Each Other (Justin Strauss and Max Pask), Safer (of the Rapture and Poolside), Bucky Boudreau and Psymon Spine’s own Brother Michael

Released early in 2021, Psymon Spine’s Charismatic Megafauna explored complicated feelings and catharsis through a singular approach to left-of-center indie, electronic and dance sounds. The release earned praise from publications such as PasteFLOOD, Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, and NME; playlist support from NPR Music (New Music Friday), Spotify (All New Indie, undercurrents, Fresh Finds), Apple Music (Midnight City, Today’s Indie Rock), and TIDAL (Rising: Indie/Rock); and notable airplay from KEXP, KCRW and the BBC.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
