Psycho Gab - Crazy Talk (CD)
Step into the world of Psycho Gab - the chart-topping Aotearoa neo-soul collective have just dropped their damn good debut EP CRAZY TALK!
A mix of smooth and chaotic jazz and R&B, this 6-track EP is a well-curated and magical debut from Rosetta Stone (vocals), Orlando Cooper (bass, production), Caleb Wong (keyboards, production), Max Henley (guitar) and Finn Mcneill (drums).
With themes of navigating young relationships, codependency, taking in the world around you, and being resilient when things don’t go to plan - the release of CRAZY TALK follows the success of Psycho Gab’s 2023 debut single ‘Messy’ (Radioscope, SRN), and more recently, singles ‘Gabben’ (SRN Top 10, #1 Radio Active Top 11) and ‘Pianomen’ (NZOA NewTracks, #1 SRN Top 10, RDU Top 10, Radio Active Top 11).
CRAZY TALK was written, recorded and mixed across Psycho Gab’s flats, Caleb and Orlando’s home studio - Bilbo’s Clubhouse, BIG FAN (during Caleb’s residency) and The Lab recording studio with award-winning engineer Olly Harmer.
“All of our songs are entirely self-produced, mixed and mastered, which has felt really important to upholding the integrity of our sound and that ‘stream of consciousness,’” explains Rosetta. “We’re blessed to have a lovely community of talented musicians through the UoA School of Music. Our mates Iggy Palmero Epstein (percussion) and James Dawes (saxophone) jumped on ‘Orchid Samba’, and we couldn’t have made the EP without the help and support of Olly at The Lab. He’s an absolute legend, and put up with our antics to get a bunch of live instrumentation done for ‘Masterpiece’, ‘Orchid Samba’ and ‘Pianomen’ - giving us the beautiful live sound we needed to make the tracks feel true to us.”
Compact disks include, index booklet featuring artwork, notes and credits from the EP along with Crazy Talk cover art poster.
Also includes redeemable code for digital download on bandcamp.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
