Mind Games

Also available on vinyl: mutualintentions.bandcamp.com/album/mind-games-lp ”Collages are a marvelous thing, every now and then, almost a magical thing. The process of layering materials that were not meant to fit together, such as fabrics with photos, is one of constant choice and assessment. Maybe these could fit with those? How can I make this sit well with that? As with physical objects, the process of creating sound collages will have you up late considering… contemplating… calculating… It can leave the strongest of minds numb. But then, all of a sudden, a magic moment occurs. “These” weirdly fit with “those”, “this” somehow blends perfectly with “that", and creation just… happens. It will never cease to amaze me how some silky chords recorded on a sunny Ohio day, seem destined to be paired with a stumbling Polish drumbreak. That is the mind boggling, time traveling magic of beats. Pieces of sound, from different times and places, sometimes appear to be made for each other” With these words in mind from lyricist Ivan Ave, we present to you Ol’ Burger Beats’ sophomore LP Mind Games. The first LP on the newly founded label Mutual Intentions, and one of the most thematic releases we’ve done to this day. Mind Games LP is Ol' Burger's second album, and the sequel to High Rhodes LP. Track A4, "My Only Outlet", contains an excerpt from Mats Nileskär's 2002 interview with Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla. Featuring Kristoffer Eikrem (Jazz Cats) on trumpet and Dr. Kay on synthesizers. Recorded in Oslo, Norway in 2015 and 2016.
