The Effigy

At the intersection
The video will roll
We chew up the footage
As we dig our holes

The hollywood concubine
Is what we have to feed
We refuse to help ourselves
And usher in the new breed

The effigy is burning
Opinions never turning
The effigy is burning
Is this what we’re learning?

The parade of endless faces
How quickly they will fade
You can’t stop possession
No matter how you pray

Keep the camera rolling
You might forget your life
Keep the money flowing
It’s time to clean your knife

The effigy is burning
Opinions never turning
The effigy is burning
Is this what we’re learning?

Artist Biography

The Psychic Idols are new three-piece, garage-psych act from Richmond, VA that formed in 2015. They play a hard-driving mix of originals and covers informed by the likes of Billy Childish, Guided by Voices, Wire, and many others--think “Nuggets” with a modern twist. They have two, self-produced EPs, “Us” (5 originals) and “Them” (5 covers). The band is currently working on a new untitled album scheduled for release in early 2017.
