Sitars, rototoms, "group tribal pow-wow things". It’s what you can expect when Richard In Your Mind hit the road in July to launch their second album My Volcano. Currently circling the country in support of Cloud Control, the Sydney psychedelic five-piece have recently been augmented by SPOD (aka Brent Griffin), who helps recreate all the bells and whistles of their new long-player live.
“The band’s feeling really good,” frontman Richard Cartwright told M+N. “Musically, I think we’re the best we’ve ever been. It’s also because we’re not stretching ourselves, like I’m not trying to play a sampler with my foot while playing guitar and singing, which is what we’ve had to do in the past. Now there’s somebody who can focus on that.”
Cartwright said they’ve even toyed with the idea of bringing a baking powder-spewing volcano on tour, just like the ones you used to make in Year 8 science class. “I don’t know how Volcano-themed we’ll get – whether we’ll get grass skirts or anything … but it’s something to think about," he said.
The follow-up to 2007’s The Future Prehistoric and last year’s Summertime EP, My Volcano will be out through Rice Is Nice on June 26. More details here.
