Mild Minds releases the next glimpse into his sophomore album GEMINI. "I NEED U," out via ODESZA's Foreign Family Collective, offers a compelling preview of the forthcoming record's sonic palette, following previously released singles "GEMINI" and "TEAR DROPS." GEMINI is set for release in just over a month's time and available to pre-order now.
Driven by luminous chord progressions and captivating vocal elements, "I NEED U" embodies a profound sense of longing that perfectly captures the emotional depth of the upcoming album. The track serves as an ideal introduction to Mild Minds' evolved sound, where contemporary club music elements interweave with deeply personal sentiment.
Where Mind's 2020 debut album MOOD represented a creative revelation and risk-taking departure from his behind-the-scenes work, GEMINI emerges as a testament to that artistic leap's rewards. The album references turn-of-the-century underground club music, utilizing dynamic breaks, atmospheric textures, and chopped 2000's R&B samples alongside early trance influences and ethereal vocals. This sonic foundation creates an unprecedented dialogue across the album between club-focused elements and melancholic emotions rarely explored in dance music.
As he continues his sophomore album cycle – Mild Minds' album, singles, and impending tour follow a remarkably productive period for Mild Minds. Last year, David launched his own record label, MOODS INTL., expanding his influence within the industry and providing a platform for both emerging and established artists. Additionally, his collaborative project LUV HRTS with Victor Pakpour of Ruby Haunt has garnered significant attention. Recent singles "U REALLY HURT ME" and "CAN WE DO BETTER?" earned critical acclaim and support from tastemakers.
Stay tuned for more from GEMINI set for release on February 21st.
