The Third Mind 2 is like a compass in a psychedelic forest, twisting through haunting covers like "Sally Go Round The Roses" while standing firm on a solid base of original tunes. With eccentrics like Dave Alvin and Jesse Sykes adding their flair, this double LP is a wild ride of six tracks that refuse to play nice. And just when you think you've got it figured out, the fourth side surprises you with a stunning laser-etched mandala that feels like the cherry on top of this adventurous creation.
