About
Psy?Phalanx was an experimental musical project active during the mid-1980s underground music scene. Operating primarily through the Extreme label, the project released three cassette recordings between 1985 and the late 1980s: Sackcloth And Ashes, Desire Libertaire, and All Our Sins Remembered. These releases positioned Psy?Phalanx within the broader context of industrial and experimental music movements of that era, characterized by unconventional approaches to composition and production typical of cassette-based underground circuits. The project's titles suggest thematic preoccupations with philosophical and potentially political content, evident in works like Desire Libertaire, which references libertarian ideology. The cassette format of their releases indicates alignment with the DIY ethos prevalent in noise, industrial, and experimental music communities of the 1980s. Though specific details regarding instrumentation, production methods, and the creative individuals behind Psy?Phalanx remain limited in available documentation, their catalog represents an important artifact of mid-1980s experimental underground music culture, particularly within cassette-based distribution networks that characterized the period.
