Alienist is the final studio album by avant-garde music group Psychic TV. It was announced on 11 August 2016, [1] and released on 16 September 2016, by Angry Love Productions.
" Jump into the Fire" is a cover of the 1971 Harry Nilsson song. "How Does It Feel" is a cover of the 1967 song "How Does It Feel to Feel" by UK mod/freakbeat group The Creation.
Reception
According to Pitchfork.com "if Psychic TV sound like a bar band on these covers, it’s a bar band that puts a lot of thought into its choice of songs. Since 2009, Psychic TV have recorded covers of Funkadelic’s “ Maggot Brain,” Hawkwind’s “Silver Machine,” Can’s " Mother Sky," and Captain Beefheart’s “Dropout Boogie,” releasing the covers as 12-inches once a year with new original tunes as B-sides. Alienist presents two covers and two originals that together clock-in at 34 minutes—long enough to qualify as a full-length but slanted closer to the mixed-bag personality an EP". [4]
