    The perfect album for the summer, it came out in 2009 and I still listen to this album regularly, I don't think it's possible to get tired of it. I hope Alan Palomo can continue producing great music like this album and his various remixes.

    A wonderful electronic album with an aesthetic for nostalgic summertime vibes, this is a memorable musical journey for fans of vintage video game themes and catchy synthpop hits. Topped by the unique addition of singer/mastermind Alan Palomo's shoegaze-like vocals, Psychic Chasms is a confident and talent-ridden nod to the joys of being a music junkie.

    Whatever its origins, Psychic Chasms extols no actual reasons for being those ways, instead touching on now-expected tropes and empty gestures to fund a handful of ready-made critical anecdotes and popular opinions.

    Throughout the record the ooo-oooh swoopiness is enchanting and the constant SNES-soundtrack bubblings take you back to a simpler, more tranquil and ultimately a place filled with hope.

    Overall, Psychic Chasms is something like a dream collaboration between the Tough Alliance and Atlas Sound, the latter of whose Internet-only Weekend EP shares a delinquent theme with one of Psychic Chasms' best songs.
