Nicole Atkins has shared “Mind Eraser,” a new track from her upcoming album Italian Ice (May 29 / Single Lock Records / Cooking Vinyl Australia). A groovy meditation on lucid dreaming co-written with My Morning Jacket’s Carl Broemel, the string-laden song draws from a wide range of influences including Serge Gainsbourg, Radiohead and Roy Orbison. It’s a wholly distinct addition to an album that Nicole has described as “an acid trip through my record collection.”

“Mind Eraser” follows the release of Italian Ice’s Double J added radio single “Domino,” which has been hailed by Pitchfork as “an apocalyptic groove” with “retro glamour” and “shades of French touch and Jessie Ware.” Rolling Stone deemed it “an excellent disco song for our troubled times.” Co-produced by Nicole and Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes), “Mind Eraser” was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio with a dynamite band consisting of Jim Sclavunos and David “Moose” Sherman from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Dap-Kings’ Binky Griptite, drummer McKenzie Smith (St. Vincent, Midlake), and Spooner Oldham and David Hood of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.

The latest episode features Aaron Lee Tasjan, AJ Haynes of Seratones and Thomas Truax.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
