Mind's I to Return to the Studio
After a long hiatus from recording and performing, Mind's I will return to the studio in March 2008 with both current guitarist Jamie Hook as well as former guitarist Greg Muiter to track several never-before recorded songs. The recording will take place at 77 Studios in Butler with longtime friend of the band Jason Thompson helming the board for the project. The band will be tracking a few songs from Greg's tenure, as well as a few from the "post-Greg" era. A few of these songs will be Watch Your Manner, Are You Blind?, Train Wreck, and Whipped. There will likely be a few others as well. It is unclear whether these tracks will be held for inclusion on the much-discussed Mind's I Retrospective compilation, or if they will be released before then. We will post more information as it becomes available.
For the first time in nearly six years Mind's I is actively working on a new album. Tracking began on Saturday, March 1 at 77 Studios in Butler with Jason Anthony, Scott Herbst, Jamie Hook, Greg Muiter, and Tom Panei all in attendance. Engineer and Co-Producer Jason Thompson is excited about the early mixes of the new material, which he describes as a departure from the Mind's I sound of the 90's and early 00's. After preliminary mixes were completed, Thompson says that the new material sounds "fresh" and like it was recorded by a group of guys who were "relaxed" and "having fun."
A release date has not been set for the as-yet unnamed album, but the band believes it won't take long to bring the new material to the masses. The album will be distributed in physical CD and digital downloadable formats through CD Baby and will be available for purchase online and through most of the popular online vendors (iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody, Napster, etc.)
More details will be made available soon - so keep checking back for updates!
Minds-I has released four CD's. Starting with, Where The Secret Lies in 1997. Then two back to back with, Fearless of Ever in 1999 and Mighty Shoves and Tiny Pushes in 2000. Then two years later, Metamorphosis in 2002. We've also released Two Live "Bootleg" CD's. Volume 1 - Hennessy's Nov 26, 99 and Volume 2 - Peter B's June 29, 01. From 1999 to 2002 we were busting ass. Playing two & three nights a week. From Chicago to New York City and fulfilling a contract with Seven Springs Resort and we realized it was taking a huge toll on the band and our lives. So we scaled it back, now we're just enjoying our selves, playing for the people we love. Hope you can stop out and see us sometime...
