State of Mind emerges from an isolated five-day music retreat with ten new recordings ranging from post-rock crescendos (“Grant Me the Strength”) over ambient meditations (“Comme a la limite de la mer …”) and krautrock soundscapes (“Kommando Holger Meins”) to oppressive drones (the live favourite “Stay Where I Am”). All infused with State of Mind’s trademark atmosphere of melodic melancholy.
