During these strange times, WMSE aims to keep you connected to your local music community by getting up close and personal in conversation while taking a listen to new local projects, albums and songs.
Dark Psychic is a two-piece electronic rock band from Milwaukee. Clark Rendall (vocals, synths, drum machine) and Nathan Greene (guitar) played together in several bands in the early 00’s and rejoined efforts after Rendall’s departure from and recent return to Milwaukee.
Dark Psychic’s sound revives elements of the new wave and post-punk sounds of the 80s with pops of psychedelic garage rock and grunge throwing some sonic curveballs. The duo’s debut release – Hallucination – tells of disillusioned millennials and Gen Xers navigating adult life in an economic and political wasteland amidst multiple systemic crises. And while there is a dark, cynical nature to much of their material, many songs hold a glimmer of hope.
