Psych Fi's
Can Con
"You're traveling through another dimension - a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination." This iconic introduction is from Rod Serling's timeless and influential television program 'The Twilight Zone.' Perhaps he would also apply this description to 'Can Con,' the debut album by The Psych Fi's. The group is an offshoot of Canadian singer-songwriter Jerry Leger's rock'n'roll side project The Del Fi's. Just as The Psych Fi's describe themselves as "spontaneous psychedelic rock," The Del Fi's recorded two albums characterized by spontaneity, spirit, and trust. This time Leger brings his songs to a revolving door of musicians and singers (18 members, including Jerry, in the case of 'Can Con'). Most of the performers have not heard these compositions before recording them. They have no chance to second-guess; they must be fearless and jump in with both feet.
