Ψυχαγωγία (Psychagogia): 1. the recall of souls (from Hades) by magical means 2. the attraction of souls, the fun, the indulgence.
After 3 english-speaking albums, “Psychagogia (Entertainment)” is Kristof’s first album in his native language.
Associative writing, verses full of images from mythology, movements and sounds direct the listener to relaxation and emotional outburst. The ten pieces transport us to other worlds, interrupting contact with everyday and petty reality.
In combination with eerie vocals and prose, teased pianos and synthesizers, a pure fantasy of the dream is built, creating the impression that within us there is another part of existence, different from the body.
Most of the songs were written during the first quarantine period of 2020 and were completed at the end of it. The album was recorded in 2021 at Lotus studio with producer Vassilis Dokakis. The album’s artwork was art directed by Petros Aronis.
“Psychagogia” is released on CD, Cassette and Digital via InnerEar.
