The first single release was "You Ran Away" with a cover version of Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus as the B-Side. This cover version became a permanent staple in Psyche's live repertoire, as well as being included on the album Strange Romance, which took a musical shift toward an accessible, upbeat pop sound. After playing for the first time in Oslo, Norway and a return to Sweden, Psyche released a live video featuring highlights from their Strange Romance Tour. In 1998 the group signed with the StrangeWays label out of Hamburg, Germany, and released their eighth album, Love Among the Ruined, which included some experimental pop music. At the beginning of 2000, Psyche signed to Artoffact Records of Toronto, Canada.
