Psychiatric Metaphors is the neo-psych project of prolific New Jersey-based artist Sam Taylor. On his new (seventh) full-length album Flower Market Exchange, he explores a new sound – less exuberant, more cohesive – that will probably have wider appeal. That doesn’t alter the fact that there is a lot to discover on the ten original songs here – this record is atmospheric, boisterous, cinematic, dreamy, ethereal and at times funky, with drifting melodies, shimmering vocals and alienating soundscapes. As colorful as the album title implies.
Flower Market Exchange is out now digitally via Acid on Toast Records. All songs are written, recorded and mixed by Sam Taylor.
