A spinoff of the first
industrial band
Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV is basically
Genesis P-Orridge's project with various other collaborators, such as Current 93's David Tibet. At first they went back and forth between creepy
Abba-influenced
pop and irritating industrial
noise, but later settled into a sort of
techno sound. Very influenced by the ideas of
William S. Burroughs, notably in their obsession with the number
23.
