“Our version of the cult classic country murder ballad “Psycho” was recorded during the Brooklyn, NY-based sessions for our first album, “Quick Draw,” back in 2018. We recently discovered the tracks for the song and decided it was well worth finishing. I thought it might make a perfect release to celebrate my favorite holiday, Halloween. So dim the lights, sit back, and enjoy our version of "Psycho" -- if you dare."
- Ryan Humbert, October 2023
