If Psychic Health's self-titled debut album (2015) took the lessons the LA duo learned in the teeming clubs of Berlin and Melbourne, their latest LP, Exclusion, looks inward; it's a document of the duo tunneling down the studio wormhole. As such, Exclusion is a remarkably dynamic effort, adeptly jumping between evocative ambience ("Jamaica 88", "Ryso") and equally expansive dancefloor fair. Examples of the latter, such as the album's obvious centerpiece and titular track, "Exclusion", document Gabriel Mounsey and Devon Steffens's harnessing modular beast technology for peak techno utility, finding a clear thoroughfare between the soaring strings of Derrick May's classic Transmat releases and Ostgut Ton's current EBM-inflected precision. As you'd expect from Mounsey's background in film composition, Exclusion whirls with imagery. It's a Los Angeles album, but focuses on raw beauty of the city at night - the lights in the distance, and the desolate downtown streets where kick drums often waft from disused warehouses. While their debut album opened notable doors for the group, landing distribution from Hard Wax and a feature in the Netflix series Sense8, Exclusion is an altogether masterful turn for Psychic Health, their complete studio immersion, easing the listener into deeply hypnotic states.
