Psyche
Re-membering Dwayne
At the end of 1981, brothers Darrin and Stephen Huss and schoolmate Dwayne Goettel performed for the first time as
Psyche in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Their live show was a combination of horror and electronics that was completely
unprecedented in Western Canada. Although Goettel and the Huss brothers parted ways before Psyche was to release any
material, the masters containing Dwayne Goettel's performances were preserved in the band's vaults. Now, 19 years after
Goettel's untimely passing in 1995, Dark Entries records presents "Re-Membering Dwayne", the original Psyche-Dwayne
Goettel sessions. All tracks were recorded and mixed on 4-track during a single day in March of 1983. Psyche's early
material is visceral and abrasive, a far cry from the sleek, dark synthpop they'd later become known for. Like the body
horror films of fellow Canadian David Cronenberg, Psyche disquietingly conflate the organic and the mechanical, calling
into question the limits of the human form. Dwayne, who would join Skinny Puppy a few years later, contributes heavily
to this more aggressive, disturbing sound. All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in
Berkeley. Each LP includes a 12-page booklet with excerpts from Darrin Huss' diary, unpublished photos of Psyche with
Dwayne, and an essay by Darrin reflecting on Psyche's past and the Goettel legacy as well as lyrics. This collection is
a glimpse at the early Canadian industrial scene and the roots of Skinny Puppy. Go take a walk in the past with an ear
for the future; you just might learn something.
