Pseudo Mind Hive Release Eclectica EP
Putting this here in no small part as a note to myself, but I figured if you take a listen too, so much the better. I’ve seen Pseudo Mind Hive‘s name around for a bit, but have never really had the chance to dig in. They’ve been kicking around the admirably crowded Melbourne heavy underground for at least half a decade and have numerous releases available on Bandcamp, so I’m late to the party as ever.
Anyhow, along comes a Bandcamp update from respected purveyor Copper Feast Records, and it landed at just the right moment to catch my eye as I’m sitting on the couch recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this afternoon, and I put on the tunes and dug what I was hearing. I love it when it’s that simple. Whatever you can say about the age in which we live, that that can happen feels not subtly like a miracle to me, as I’m old enough to remember when that was not the case.
In the spirit of sharing something cool, here’s the info from Bandcamp and the EP stream:
This is our new EP ‘Eclectica’
It is a soulful, bizarre and unique cacophony of different influences, approaches and sounds, just like us.
We worked very hard to make this a record that feels classic, and one that could inspire others to express their own unique creativity.
We hope we have succeeded, and we hope that somebody finds Eclectica many years from now in a little record store and loves it. We owe so much to having had that experience ourselves with the countless obscure records from the past that have inspired us.
The road from here on out is a little foggy for us, we’re not sure when we will make music again.
One thing we do know, however, is that we owe everything to you, the beautiful people that have supported us over the last five years. You are as much a part of Pseudo Mind Hive as we are.
All our love,
PMH
