# Psychologist
**Psychologist** is the alter ego of **Iain Woods** who makes
bastard-future pop that is by turns delicate, vulnerable and utterly
uncompromising. Currently releasing the second in a brace of E.P's that
have been released weeks apart but are conjoined like a musical puzzle,
the enjoyment is to be found fusing the pieces to make one stunning
whole.
Riding roughshod through waters currently occupied by the likes of
**Debukas**, and **Rudi Zygadlo**, Woods' skewed pop
songs inject emotion and feeling into stone cold drums and omnipresent
bass-lines. Performing recently with a 12 person choir, the
choral-connections makes sense with an ethereal thread running through
the two E.P's 'Waves of OK' and 'Propeller' that make up 'The Epidural
Collection'. In fact ecclesiastical drama and theatre is one of
touchstones on the 'Propeller' EP intercut with moments of minimalistic
beauty and rude boy bass.
Channeling the spirit of David Lynch through scattergun clicks and a
shirt tearing vocal performance on 'Twin Peaks Disco' -- which you can
download below made me realise that avant-garde explorations of 'club'
music are rarely so rewarding. Have you seen a Psychologist recently?
Perhaps it's time you did.
