Mindless Crowd is a Switzerland-based indie rock band whose music flits as lightly as a cloud. Their style sports a mercurial temper, a pastiche of 70s rock, psychedelics, and contemporary rock. Lined with conceptual edges, their soundscapes can be quite deep and layered. If you take a cross-sectional piece, you would see all these styles, harmoniously aligning, bundled into a tiered significance. Their latest release is the ‘Wanderlust’ album, a collection that denotes and dotes on the absurdities of the nomadic lifestyle. Shaping up an abstract beauty, an ideal that floats in the mind.
It grapples with themes of joy, peace, melancholy, contemplation, chaos, and clarity. It is a push and pull that distills the theme progressively. ‘Look Up’ is taken from this album, its nimble ripples are vibrantly hypnotic, expansive. There’s a deceptive stillness to it, but there’s quite a bit happening in the underbelly.
It is stark, making you feel like you’re gazing at a flatland with nothing and everything to offer. There’s a horizon cutting the landscape, one part of it thriving in its clarity. And the other, so effortlessly fluid, intricate. Like a breeze combing through a bed of grass. It is folk rock at its monotonal brilliance with ripples of psychedelic sensibilities running through it. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
