Maymind is the project of Riga born, Los Angeles based musician, producer and DJ Leo Maymind. He has announced the release of a new album called June which will be out on November 5th. He has shared a new track called “Four Portals“. He explains: “Half of the songs on June are new ideas started during quarantine and half are old ideas that I’ve been working and reworking for years. ‘Four Portals’ is one of the latter, a track that I started seven years ago when living in Brooklyn but could never quite finish to my liking. The track started with the bass line and that piano hook and it existed as a simple loop for several years.”
He goes on to add: “It wasn’t until I came up with the extended saxophone outro section that I felt like the idea was complete, a diverse sonic universe for which the listener could find their own details to dive into. It’s a track that probably went through thirty iterations but it’s one of my favorites on the record. I think it could easily be a thesis statement for the Maymind project overall, as it combines my love for intricately programmed drums and the influences of jazz, electronica, and psychedelic pop all rolled into one.”
