  • Bio

    .. .. .. ..Mind Capsule.. is an instrumental rock trio that specializes in a heady fusion of abstract grooves, melodic riffage and dense improvisational soundscapes. Their sound blends the primal urgency of classic power trios like Cream and Mahavishnu with the moody psychedelia of modern art-rockers like Godspeed You Black Emperor! and The Mars Volta. .. .. Primarily a live project throughout most of 2005-2006, Mind Capsule went into the studio in late '06 with producer and long-time collaborator Nik Chinboukas and emerged with The Space Between. Their first proper offering as a band, Space captures Mind Capsule at full force and firmly establishes that they are as formidable a studio entity as they are a live unit. The songs are meticulously layered and harmonically complex but still crackle with the restless energy and effortless back-and-forth that has become the band’s trademark. .. .. For booking info and press information contact ..info@mindcapsule.. .. .. "Fusing intermittent darkish melancholic guitar-dominated rock themes with some of the most intriguing and vibrant melodic meanderings, these guys have managed to come up with something very, very special indeed!" .. ..--Colin Lynch/R Cat Communications.. .. .. "Imagine Stanley Kubrick equipped with massive musical chops. The tone is dark, the music exploratory, providing a soundscape constantly shifting in tone, very chilly." .. ..--Kevan Breitinger/Indie-Music.com.. .. ..
