Richard In Your Mind
Sydney's psychedelic lads continue their love affair with the '60s.
Overview
You can't help but conjure up images of the romanticised '60s Woodstock era while listening to Richard In Your Mind. Putting forward a Beatles-ish pop sound swathed with psychedelic and krautrock rythyms, the Sydney five-piece have just released their newest album, Ponderosa via Rice Is Nice, the local record label boasting a host of Sydney talent such as Donny Benet and SPOD. RIYM's tunes are a fun and light-hearted affair, exploring overarching themes of things like nature, exploration and escapism — no doubt influenced by the band's hours spent in the Blue Mountains, where they recorded the tracks.
To launch Ponderosa, Richard In Your Mind are playing a couple of intimate shows along the East Coast. This Brisbane leg sees the crew supporting New York-based (via Japan) avant-garde legends Cibo Matto on their first trip to Australia, joining Regurgitator's Ben Ely.
It might not be the 1960s anymore, but these guys are definitely making sure the crazy psychedelia still lives on.
