Psyche Chimère

According to Psyche Corporation vocalist and frontwoman Psyche Chimère; the band is a “dark, fairytale, steampunk, cyberpunk band” who “deal in alternative world music, both in the world music sense and in the alternative world sense.” They’re based out of New York City but again, according to her, they’re also “based off of a dream manufacture company far into the future, where brain implants allow you to download dreams from the Internet.”

The band’s music provides an often haunting sort of background to Miss Chimère’s flawless soprano and narrative lyrics. She’s also one of the few, very visible Asian ladies of the steampunk sub-genre. Above is the official music video for “Jewels,” off of their early 2013 album Crypts and Codes.

    Pretty girl. I actually liked the music/video as well.

    She’s pretty cute. The music? Not so much. Maybe if they spent the time they use manufacturing their image and performance on, you know, actually learning to play music, they’d have something.

    I know I’m an old fuddy-duddy music snob. but descriptions such as “dark, fairytale, steampunk, cyberpunk band” who “deal in alternative world music, both in the world music sense and in the alternative world sense.” turn my stomach. If this doesn’t work out, I wonder how she will “re invent” herself. (Another phrase that makes my skin crawl when applied to artists.)

    She is without a doubt nice to look at, but that is probably one of the worst songs I’ve heard in awhile.

    I don’t know, while I’m more of a classic rock man I thought that was OK. The production values are pretty high and well executed. I really liked the video, nice colours. I would rather listen to that than a lot of the J/K-pop or God forbid the Thai boy bands my missus likes. Admittedly the pretentiousness of ‘artistes’ can be a bit galling.

    Not my taste. I’m not willing to pay. Good luck to her.

    Very pretty and the music was interesting.

    She’s cute. I like a girl who can rock a corset. As for the music, way too much of that was done in the editing room and not organically.

    It wasn’t quite my style of rock…but it was pretty powerful the way she sang. I think she’s hot too.
