PBDY - Brainfeeder’s resident selector/DJ - is in the midst of a 34 date US tour supporting Flying Lotus that ends next week on 20 September at The Novo in their hometown Los Angeles. His new single ‘This State of Mine (Mind)’ released today comes hot on the heels of ‘Eucalyptus & Lavender / So Help Me (DOG)’ a hazy, loose-knit jam that featured Jeff Parker (of pioneering post-rock outfit Tortoise) on guitar, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on viola and Justin Brown (Thundercat, Ambrose Akinmusire) on drums. In contrast, ‘This State of Mine (Mind)’ is founded on pounding 4x4 kicks and features vocals by British/German recording artist Anika who is best known for her collaborative work with Geoff Barrow (Beak / Portishead), Shackleton and her band Exploded View.
