Psychic Powers was formed in 2007 by Nik Brinkman of Over The Atlantic and Ale Cohen of Languis. The two met briefly in Los Angeles while Nik was on tour. They then decided to collaborate and write songs together via the Internet from their home countries, New Zealand and the United States, respectively.
The main musical influences of Psychic Powers come from record labels such as 4AD, Flying Nun, Sarah, Factory, and Creation Records.
