ÂÂContemporary touchstones are Type O Negative and MastodonÂs artier moments. Floyd devotees set the controls for arty grunge. ...Although obviously conversant in UK 70Âs prog, PortlandÂs William Weikart also knows his way round a doomy riff and a grunge melody. ÂWhen they stick to the more straight forward heavy psychedelia however, the results are exceptional and impressive.Â
- Classic Rock Magazine London April 2009
ÂTough, fervid and intense, at various times over the course of Psycheclectic they resemble a more inspired Soundgarden with a bigger paintbox. ...ItÂs surprising and instructive to discover how well their brawny, muscular, scruff-of-the-neck acid rock offsets and complements... ItÂs an aural entente between UK and US psych templates, no lessÂÂ - Shindig! Magazine London
"An ambitious prog-rock album where surface-sutured layers of trippy textures and trances melt into ominous simmering swatches of deep-seated psychotronic sensations before slowly coalescing together again." - Creem Magazine
ÂThere is so much going on within this album that it takes many plays to fully explore the multi layers and sometimes disguised dimensions it contains. The productionÂis first class. ÂBoth psychedelic and eclectic drawing from not only Floyd influences but releasing those energies and letting them go on their own journeyÂnot only rewarding but is also fascinating and compelling. It is a brave move ÂCast Close the Gate which opens with strident guitar work before developing into an extraordinarily accomplished track underpinned by some clever and effective drumming. ÂLoveÂs Love appears with a wonderfully rich opening section and highly evocative lyrics.Â

ÂÂThe album takes great inspiration from Pink Floyd, but really stands with its own persona. ÂObscured By Clouds takes what they heard and learned from Pink Floyd and adapted it to their own play. And the thing is, these kids rock. Using "psycheclectic" as a portmanteau of "psychedelic" and "eclectic" very much describes the album itself. ÂDifferent songs (would) be described as everything from classic rock to feedback experimentation to folk to perhaps even Celtic in its epic descriptions of landscape and emotional impact. ÂSoft Cheeked and Worried," Âflows from stark acoustic guitar emulating the barren desert with splashes of piano and moves to electric guitar playing just on the edge of feedback. "Zo Zolofft" works as an homage to Syd Barrett in a "song about a girl, a sitar, and modern pharmakinetics", creating the "sonic imagery of the splintered spokes of a broken and wobbling wheel." "Love's Love" calls up images of love personified "with a Floydishly acoustic accompaniment."
