Jaakko Eino Kalevi - No End

Birds Of Mind end their year with ‘Journey’, a magically mellow new album on Kindisch. 

Birds of Mind is made up of Paris-based duo Alex H. and Adrian C. Alex studied filmmaking in NYC and picked up a passion for electronic music while traveling the globe. He now spends half his year DJing on the island of Mykonos and is inspired by being close to nature. Adrian was born into a Venezuelan family of classical music artists, studied the violin and piano at the Conservatory of Paris then made his way into musique concrète. Together they compose music that is electronic but nourished by the exploration of organic sounds and ancient chants. Birds Of Mind will return to Get Physical in 2022 after debuting there in 2019, but before that comes this immersive new album. It is a spiritual, peaceful and loving record with a very natural presence. 

'Birth Of The Phoenix' opens up with four minutes of ambient pads and swirling, wordless vocals that are immediately soothing. The deliciously deep and delicate 'Mindgame' sinks you into a heartfelt house groove, and dubby cut 'The Tree of Knowledge' is embellished with intoxicating vocals, found sounds and plenty of natural sonic details. 'La Maison Bleue' is clean and elegant, with celestial melodies lifting your spirits before cosmic ambient piece 'It's Me' brings lush layers of synths to take you ever higher. 
The second half of the album plays out with the floating grooves and expressive Spanish vocals of 'Wing Flapping,' romantic late-night house and deft instrumentation of 'Dropping Seeds of Life' and the melancholic lullaby that is 'Inside Your Head.' Deep bass and intoxicating jazzy sax define the supple 'The Void Between Us' and 'Finale' closes down with gorgeously optimistic chords, cosmic motifs and glassy melodies that beam down from the heavens. 

‘Journey’ is a perfectly escapist listen from two talented artists.

Birds of Mind - Journey (Snippet Mix)

Galt MacDermot - Let the Sunshine In

Released on white vinyl 7" for RSD14, full release on 9th June 2014.

Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Texas, formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums.

Mark and DJ's roots are in R&B, Hip Hop and Gospel having played within the same gospel band for years. Both professional musicians, Mark began teaching Laura how to play bass in the summer of 2009. As such, Laura quickly developed a huge passion for the instrument and the aesthetic it brought to music she loved. Having worked studiously on developing her skills, both Mark and Laura were invited to tour with Ninja Tune's YPPAH supporting Bonobo across his 2010 American tour. 

The tour galvanised the two of them to start making music together more seriously, sowing the first seeds of Khruangbin. Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - Khruangbin literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai - the two took a trip to a barn deep in the Texas countryside and jammed for the entire weekend, developing a sound which was steeped the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspiration. Khruangbin was formed, with D.J. the natural go to for drums.

Having kept in touch, Bonobo included Khruangbin's 'A Calf Born In Winter' on his 2013 'Late Night Tales' compilation. In addition to increasing the Stateside following the band has built, the release has helped Khruangbin in topping both the US & UK 'Last FM' fastest growing artists whilst 'A Calf Born In Winter' continues to be one of the most popular single downloads from the compilation. The band recently signed to LNT offshoot Night Time Stories, with an album planned in 2015.
