This single brings me back to some earlier mouse on the keys, the flowers of romance vibes. Extremely fast paced , all busted up and nonstop groovy. I hope this is a teaser or something for an upcoming album because I'm itching for more and loved this sound.

“Mind” is the latest standalone composition from Japan’s prodigious jazz-meets-progressive-rock trio mouse on the keys. It opens in a swelling drone before exploding into jagged, disjointed syncopations overlapped with fervent, arpeggiating leads. Previously known for their dueling piano works that mash together modern jazz composition with neoclassical inflection, mouse on the keys have recently shown a fondness for synths, an effective textural addition to the already profound depth and elasticity of their unique sound. This subtle sonic shift is distinguished by the fuzzy, wailing synths that guide “Mind” to its boisterous climax, a cyber-kinetic eruption of urgency and suspense.
I am getting serious video game music vibes from this 3 song release. The last two songs are very drum forward and make me feel like it would be a great theme for a boss battle. Cannot get enough Elephant Gym ! belzac
