THE THIRD MIND
It was only three years ago that the world was introduced to The Third Mind, although the musicians that make up the group are familiar to almost any music snob. Originally started by Dave Alvin of The Blasters (guitar) and Victor Krummenacher of Camper Van Beethoven (bass), the duo then added Michael Jerome (drums), David Immerglück (guitar), and the final piece to the plan, Jesse Skyes (vocals and acoustic guitar). Each member of the band has had a formidable career of their own, Immerglück coming from Counting Crows, Skyes having an impressive discography with her band Jesse Skyes and The Sweet Hereafter, and Jerome playing drums for Richard Thompson. The concept for The Third Mind was simple, to rediscover their love for classic records from the 1960’s and reconfigure them to fit this all-star arrangement. The kicker is that a lack of arranging is what makes them so unique.
The Third Mind is an improvisational band, disregarding their collective decades of songwriting for a more free-flowing format. Taking note from the greats of jazz, the band doesn’t write new arrangements for their covers rather they hit the studio with nothing but passion and a wealth of experience. Their first album, the self-titled release from 2020, showed the budding creativity of a collection of artists with unquenchable ambition. Only three years later, the band is back with “Groovin’ Is Easy”, the second single to the anticipated sophomore LP The Third Mind 2, which is set to release on October 27. With the exception of “Tall Grass”, the band’s single from earlier this summer written by Alvin and Skyes, their second outing follows the same formula as their first. All arrangements are improvised and all lyrics are lifted from deep cuts of the 1960’s blues and folk scene. – Glide Magazine (Sept ’23)
