Mindreading

inger is robert aa lowe (lichens, 90-day men, om), ben vida (town and country, bird show, drmwpn) and adam vida (central falls, us maple). 'mindreading' is the second singer album and the first since 'unhistories' was released in march 2008. 'mindreading' was recorded entirely in the digital realm and mixed with randall dunn, whose other credits include six organs of admittance's 'asleep on the floodplain' and all those earth and sunn o))) records. the changes singer has undergone are ultimately natural; an amoebic evolution in sound. there is newfound energy here: 'mindreading' is a craft languidly jetting in the open air, equally composed of organic and synthetic elements, cross-pollinated, a next-wave hybrid vehicle. thus altered, with fewer controls and expanded motility, this new kind of singer advances through a widening pass of musical inspiration, moving into a smoother, occasionally broken landscape of melodic song and aural bliss. on drag city.
