For more than a decade, the psychedelic rock unit The Psychic Alliance have thrilled patrons of the Vancouver music scene with their punk rock energy, delightfully offbeat songwriting, and theatrical live performances.

Over the course of four studio albums and one, shall we say unique, Christmas album, the band has stood apart from many of their contemporaries as a fun and phantasmagorical musical act that takes their music seriously while not taking themselves too seriously.

Andrew Judah is a Kelowna based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer who over the course of five full length albums has fine tuned a melodic and structurally complex indie rock sound.

Accompanied by his equally talented live band, Andrew has performed some of the biggest music festivals in Western Canada including Skookum, Rifflandia, and Breakout West.

On this episode, we learn about the steps Andrew took to craft his latest release Impossible Staircase.
