CD in carton fold pack. Music style: electro / synth pop / electro dance
This 14-track album sort of retraces the Belgian artist’s music therapy efforts and his emotional
ascension from the darkest thoughts towards more joyful moments of enlightenment. While
PSY’AVIAH’s sound remains quite focused on his characteristic style range hovering somewhere
between synthpop / electropop / triphop melange, with sometimes heavier electronic dance tracks,
we clearly perceive the switch of atmosphere and moods from the more tortuous and self-
questioning songs, towards more dynamic, shining and positively charged compositions. Com-
piled across one full length album, these beautiful, sincere and touchy songs make a whole and
reveal PSY’AVIAH at his best, expanding his musical spectrum from jazzy trip-hop to electro rock
and break beats while staying faithful to his modern electro / EBM roots.
Yves Schelpe is also here perfectly surrounded by carefully selected male and female vocalists
who each brilliantly render the poignant intimacy of these lyrics everyone can easily relate to. We
first of all have PSY’AVIAH’s award winning live vocalist Marieke Lightband who sets the emotional
bar very high with “The great Disconnect”, just like Ellia Bisker and Kyoko Bartsoen (ex-LUNASCAPE)
respectively do it on “Aftermath” and “Plan B”. Other highlights are also reached through the colla-
boration with Michael Evans (MiXE1) who brings PSY’AVIAH closer to a band like MESH as well
as the energetic featuring together with KONER. Some other infamous ”usual” partners of crimes
are also part of the game again including the unmatchable voice of Mari Kattman, Fallon Nieves,
David Chamberlin (ENTRZELLE), as well as the incisive guitar parts signed by Jürgen Brischar
of JUNKSISTA and by live member Ben van de Cruys, the meticulous mixing work of Mitia Wexler,
the mastering touch of Geert de Wilde (IC 434) and the unique design of Japanese artist Tomoki
Haysaka.
“Lightflare” starts as a cry for help to progressively turn into a symbol of hope. Rich in sparkling
emotions and melodic freshness, this inspiring and shining album is bound to become a classic
in its genre and is a golden milestone in PSY’AVIAH’s impressive discography.
