La primera vez que escuché a Scissor Shock fue la cinta "Shrine To Salvaged Junk", que me pareció (y aún lo hace) una de las mejores cosas que he escuchado en el último año. Estaba tan emocionado con la cinta que propuse al hombre detrás de S.S., Adam, sacar algo en fNs, por lo que cuando declinó la oferta debido a asuntos relacionados con el cine que le tenían ocupados me quedé un poco decepcionado. Meses más tarde me escribió diciendo que quería hacerlo. Bien!. Y unos meses más tarde viene con la más fantástica mierda weird-free-rock. Con ecos de bandas clásicas como The Residentes y Captain Beefheart, "Psychic Existentialist" es un viaje asombrosamente extraño por los reinos de rock y sonidos electrónicos. 32 minutos de gloriosas guitarras afiladas, ritmos estrambóticos y maravillosos vetetuasaberqué sonidos. Avant rock raro. Diseño de portada por Adam Cooley.
Edición limitada de 50 copias numeradas a mano, impresión a color en portadas, disco impreso en blanco y negro, en fundas de plástico, empaquetados en fundas de plástico selladas.

I first listened to Scissor Shock was to the "Shrine To Salvaged Junk" tape, which I thought (and still do) it's one of the best things I've listened to in the past year. I was so excited with that tape that I proposed S.S. main man Adam to do a release on fNs, so when he declined the offer due to film making issues that kept him busy I was a little bit bumped. Months later he emailed me saying he wanted to do it. Yes! And some more months later he comes up with the greatest weird-free-rock shit ever. With echoes of classic bands like The Residentes and Captain Beefheart, "Psychic Existentialist" is an awesomely strange voyage by the realms of rock and electronic sounds. 32 minutes of glorious edgy guitars, odd rhythms and marvellous whoknowswhat sounds. Avantweirdrock. Cover design by Adam Cooley.
Limited edition of 50 hand numbered copies, color printing on covers, b&w print on disc, housed in plastic sleeves, packed in sealed plastic bags.

Reseña/Review Vital Week #753 (Oct. 26, 2010)
Scissor Shock is a project of Adam Cooley from Columbus, Indiana and releases music since 2003. The music on the album "Psychic Existentialist" can be described as Frank Zappa full speed forward. Thirteen songs, varying from extremely short (twenty-three seconds) to about nine minutes fill the album. The musician experiments a lot with guitar, voice, synthesizer, drummachine and more. It is a kind of free-jazz, rock with weirdo combinations and structures, humor and an excellent feeling of timing. For me this album is a great surprise!.- (JKH)
