Description:

Stones Throw's signature artist and the hottest singer/songwriter/producer in the current LA scene: MNDSGN (Mind Design). Five years after the smash hit "Body Wash", the long-awaited third album is here, recorded for the first time with a band! The album features the LA dream team of Kiefer, Swarvy, Carlos Nino, Devin Morrison, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Anna Wise, Foushee, and more, all of whom represent the current state of the LA scene! Innovative beat music derived from hip-hop! The MNDSGN sound has evolved and awakened again! Inspired by a wider and deeper range of roots music such as soundtracks, samba, exotica, library, etc., this album is unleashed as an original sound.The superb mellowness of TR-1 and TR-2 draws you in from the intro, the dreamy refrain of TR-3 stirs up a sense of danger, TR-4, a bittersweet pop tune that symbolizes today's LA, and R-6, a downtempo boogie with an impressive urban sound, and TR-8 and TR-10, a superb dreamy tune with a nostalgic sound and sweet harmonies. The down-tempo boogie R-6 with its impressive urban sound, and the super dreamy TR-8 and 10 with their nostalgic sound and sweet harmonies, create a mellow and universal sound world that unfolds colorfully over a wide variety of rhythms and grooves! Exquisitely arranged interludes and a magnificent soundscape with depth completed by the band recording! Another masterpiece from the ever-evolving LA scene! Includes obi and commentary.
