The New Age indie duo known as The
Sophisticated Psychos have released their debut official album, “Take
Us Home.” The record has been proudly published on the K111
independent music label without the direction of the corporate music
industry. Combining entertaining hooks with razor-sharp production
and a compelling message of empowerment, “Take Us Home” is the
record to put The Sophisticated Psychos on the map for 2017 and
beyond.
Los Angeles' The Sophisticated Psychos
cite as main artistic influences Sade, Sting, Janis Joplin, Tupac
Shakur, Stevie Nicks, Eminem, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles,
Motown, Kendrick Lamar, Billie Holiday, Mozart, Beethoven, Jazz,
Blues, Jewel, Mariah Carey, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Blink 182,
Sublime, Broadway Musicals, Andy Warhol, and Basquiat.
They have been described as “a New
Age indie duo who combine the elements of early hip hop with modern
synth and live stringed instruments to create a very big cinematic
sound experience.”
Based on the world-famous Sunset Blvd.,
The Sophisticated Psychos are Kyriaki, female poet, songwriter and
co-producer, and Nicky Scorpio, male vocalist, co-producer and
songwriter of the album.
Arranger, producer and
multi-instrumentalist Nicky Scorpio says of the record, “The sound
this duo brings is groovy and fun while sending a message of
positivity and transformation. The vision of the music is to
celebrate the imperfect journey of life and to show the truth and
connection that we all share.”
Asked to elaborate on the themes of
their new record, The Sophisticated Psychos write: “A smile. A new
belief. A need to share this with a friend or family member going
through a tough time or someone in need of unconditional Self-Love.
Our message is the power of healthy love through music. The
Sophisticated Psychos are promoting mental health awareness through
music, art and expression.”
The concept of “unconditional
self-love” plays a central role in the songwriting of “Take Us
Home.”
“Our album is sharing Unconditional
Self-Love,” write The Sophisticated Psychos. “So important,
rarely discussed. Weird beliefs around this subject. We want to bring
more light to self care, self education and empowerment. How to love
ourselves more, appreciate everything that is US and to be kinder to
ourselves; to know the importance of abuse, how to heal ourselves
from the PTSD and trauma we all share.”
The group goes so far as to say the
teaching of unconditional self love is the founding principle of the
record.
“We birthed this music to inspire
people to create,” they write, “to always think BIGGER, and to
know the power of vulnerability, which in today's society is very
outside the box. From our hearts and experiences to yours.”
“Take Us Home,” the debut album
from The Sophisticated Psychos, is available from over 600 quality
digital music stores online worldwide now.
