<a href="spotify:artist:04HvbIwBccFmRie5ATX4ft" data-name="Yeasayer">Yeasayer</a> co-founder <a href="spotify:artist:5pMCcLhPil65XVA7x0rRO1" data-name="Anand Wilder">Anand Wilder</a> is known for shaping the experimental indie pop of the 2010s with the critically-acclaimed Brooklyn band. On his new album Psychic Lessons, Wilder taps back into the psychedelic rock and electro-pop that made the group so successful for an LP that finds him continuing to expand upon his genre-bending sound.
The collaborative nature of the LP resulted in a record that mixes genres like chillwave, psych-pop, reggae and country to create a wholly original sound rooted in the synthetic palettes of the 1980s. Thematically, the songs teeter from the small troubles of personal life to explorations in mythology and ancient history and character-driven satires of contemporary life.
Wilder expands: “I just want to keep making records in a reeling music industry. This one’s about drawing inspiration anywhere I find it — myth, history, anthropology, satire, life’s little indignities, or a pink keyboard my wife found on the street.”
His new album Psychic Lessons follows his 2022 solo debut, I Don’t Know My Words, which – comparatively – found Wilder taking the spiritual exercise of going solo seriously. Stripping his songcraft down to the studs, he recorded every note himself. The hard work paid off, earning praise from Stereogum, NPR Music, Consequence and many more.
