Mind Science of the Mind brings together an accomplished collective of indie and alternative musicians, featuring guitarist Nathan Larson (Shudder to Think), guitarist Mary Timony (Helium), violinist Joan Wasser, and drummer Kevin March (The Dambuilders). With Larson handling songwriting and vocals, the project channels the angular post-hardcore sensibilities of Shudder to Think while incorporating Wasser's distinctive string arrangements, creating a sophisticated fusion of guitar-driven rock and classical instrumentation.
The group's dynamic live presence expanded with bassist support during touring, showcasing the creative synergy between its accomplished members. Their work represents a notable intersection of indie rock experimentation and chamber pop arrangements, demonstrating how established musicians from complementary projects can create compelling new sonic territory through collaboration.
