about
A collection of 5 live tracks by Psychohistorians recorded as our jams at Stephen’s house slowly expanded into a 5-piece band.
Psychohistorians began as a duo project between Stephen and Karl to experiment with various tunes and harmonies. Eventually they invited in Sayaka for a collaboration video, then expanded further to include Jackie and Michelle.
Now the band are exploring various folk melodies (and other genres!) to share with the wider music community.
