1965

On their new EP called &#34;Paranoid Betazoid&#34;, the Warsaw-based trio went for maximum eclecticism. <a href="spotify:artist:5M52tdBnJaKSvOpJGz8mfZ" data-name="Black Sabbath">Black Sabbath</a>-like riffs are mixed with synths, catchy <a href="spotify:artist:4hvwEwrCmGj22uURGVET7Q" data-name="Monster Magnet">Monster Magnet</a>-style choruses are intertwined with instrumental parts reminiscent of bands such as <a href="spotify:artist:7AC976RDJzL2asmZuz7qil" data-name="Yes">Yes</a> or <a href="spotify:artist:2Hkut4rAAyrQxRdof7FVJq" data-name="Rush">Rush</a>.

On the new mini-album, the band remains in the same futuristic, dystopian universe as on their last album - the 2022 album &#34;<a href="spotify:album:1Zp7IKteWU3C6To9HH56IM" data-name="Panther">Panther</a>&#34;. However, the atmosphere of &#34;Paranoid Betazoid&#34; is much more psychedelic, the music more experimental, and the compositions more elaborate.

The songs on the new EP are definitely darker than on the band&#39;s two previous albums. &#34;The subject matter of the lyrics revolves around the state of our minds and the state of our planet in the 2020s&#34;, says 1965 vocalist and guitarist Michał Rogalski - &#34;so naturally they are rather pessimistic.&#34;

&#34;This is the most organic thing we have recorded so far&#34;, says the band&#39;s drummer Tomasz Rudnicki - &#34;unlike the first two albums, where Michał brought songs and the band polished them together, &#34;Paranoid Betazoid&#34; is the result of collective jamming and composing from the very beginning.&#34;

“This EP was a great opportunity for me to make full use of my compositional skills,” says 1965 bassist Marco Caponi. “I brought a bit more of my mathematical approach to music to “Paranoid Betazoid,” which I think fits the atmosphere of this EP very well.”
