Here’s a list of adjectives: stoned, relaxed, lazy, languid. Combine those with: psychedelic, echo, rock and folk. Ta-da! With roughly as much effort as the band put into this album, you’ve got a review of the new Psychic Ills record! Hazed Dream isn’t good or bad so much as it’s completely inconsequential — imagine, if you will, a less talented, more stoned Kurt Vile. Actually, most of Hazed Dream sounds like abandoned scraps from Vile’s cutting room floor. Can’t help but feel this Brooklyn band went beyond “slacker” to flat-out “lazy.” Pass.
