HOPELESS

 PSI COM was born in Los Angeles in the early '80s with no clear Gothic sound, yet carried gothic and occult atmospheres in their profane prayers.

 The merit of PSI COM was being able to translate with character, escapist poetry, and originality the existential anxieties of European post-punk in the Californian Sun Valley.

This review highlights PSI COM's unique place in the 1980s Los Angeles post-punk and gothic scene. Despite having few tracks and a short lifespan, their EP reflects a blend of raw tribal rhythms, dark poetic lyricism, and an underground mystique. Perry Farrell's early work and the band's connection to the desert imagery and spiritual themes are emphasized. PSI COM remains a cult classic that successfully merged European post-punk aesthetics with Californian cultural elements. Discover the haunting sounds of PSI COM's cult classic EP and dive into the 80s L.A. underground gothic scene today!
