No Mind Vol. 1 by Supernaut–Album Review

Hailing from Santa Cruz, California, is a psychedelic-prog trio called Supernaut who recently released No Mind Volume 1, a lyric-free heavy rock album. No Mind Vol 1 is a stream-of-consciousness project, forty minutes of pure instrumental passion. The unique angle the band takes with this album is that of going through a bad trip.

The lead track, “Ronin,” is a pure rush of power. The bassist is often the unsung hero of any group, but a good bass player can make a big difference. On No Mind Vol 1, Will Iermini’s bass playing is spot-on throughout.

The four songs that follow brim with energy. They might sound a little disjointed at times, but that’s part of No Mind’s wild ride.

In “Cold Waters of The North”, the listener is treated to Iermini’s impeccable bass chops and Oliver Niemann’s warped guitar solo that leaves the listener desperately grasping for anything to hold on to. In “Wake The Dead”, Iermini’s wizardry drives the listener to a mental breakdown, scratching at the walls inside their mind, begging to be let out. Fingers are now red and raw. At this moment, the listener has two choices. They can submit to relentless passion or become the victim of insanity.

The penultimate track, “Bestill”, is the eye of the storm. You hear the eerie playing of the bass, and the drums remind the listener that they have one more level to go. Here, the listener is given some time to process the tumultuous trip they are experiencing. This brief tranquil period will prepare them for the next, and final, track “Lizard City.” This song, at over 18 minutes long, is epic. About three-quarters of the way through, the lead guitarist Niemann creates a sound reminiscent of rain droplets falling in perfect harmony, echoing throughout space. It’s evocative of the emotionally intense Jimi Hendrix song “One Rainy Wish” and includes a droning background sound that elevates the trippy atmosphere and concludes the album.

No Mind Volume 1 is worth a listen.
