The first single from the forthcoming album by Psychic Love is like being wrapped in something warm and fuzzy and suspended over Echo Park Lake. “The Weekend” is the work of singer-songwriter Laura Peters and producer Erick Jordan, who became roommates in 2013 and began penning four-minute dream-pop miniatures. That year, they released the 7-inch “Mirrors” (b/w “Medicine”), recorded at The Ship Studio. Then, in addition to Peters’ collaboration in the Most Best, Psychic Love embarked on making the full-length “The Hive Mind,” due in November. Fun facts: The band has been doing underground shows at Vega’s Meat Market in Echo Park at which attendees get a card from the “Psychic Love Deck” allowing them to preview a new song. Also, the band’s name derives from a 1-900 hotline that Jordan’s father owned in the 1990s. Psychic Love, however, doesn’t sound like they’re phoning it in.
