Psychonauts, also known as The Psychonauts, are a British music duo. They consist of Pablo Clement and Paul Mogg. [1] The two met in Somerset, UK, while "digging through crates at the local record store". [1] Clement is also a member of James Lavelle's Unkle project. [1]
In 1998, Psychonauts released a mix album, Time Machine, on Mo' Wax. [2] In 2015, Fact placed it at number 35 on the "50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time" list. [2]
In 2003, the duo released their first studio album, Songs for Creatures, on International DeeJay Gigolo Records. [3] John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "one of the best records to appear from a former Mo' Wax act in several years." [4] Neesh Asghar of The Guardian described it as "a gorgeous record showcasing cinematic soundscapes and seductive ethereal ambience alongside pastoral folk-pop songs and electro disco." [5] The album was re-released in 2010. [6] In a review of the album's reissue, Matthew Bennett of Clash called it "a complete dance album that's rarely been surpassed in the last six years." [7]
