Mitchell Museum
The Peter’s Port Memorial Service

Mitchell Museum have a gift, and its for us to enjoy. The alchemy in the Mitchell Museum camp combines a kaleidoscopic twist on psychedelic pop, floating keyboard riffs and the reverb drenched rhythms as if they've escaped from the nearest carnival.
Walking through the park on an Autumn evening, with the sun impossibly low, resting its golden beams on top of the trees. In the acute delirium of walking into the sun, time disappears as leaves cover your tracks. That is this very aptly timed album. Organic Keys drifting from singer Cammy MacFlarlane, vocals that bounce back and forth in the disengaged area between your ears. Dougie Kennedy's guitar is an artists stroke that knows when less is more, guitar riffs that can rip through the mix on songs like 'Mission 1', all the way to delay ridden chords as if they were played on distant church bells, found on 'Cut Lantern'. Kris Ferguson and Raindeer create a bass and drum landscape, serving as the heart to every song on the album.
This is an album for escape, for 43 minutes you can disappear into a world with dimensions pushing and swelling, distorted images of how things should be, but with enough tip-offs to reality that you know this isn’t a dream. There's nothing more relaxing than letting go, which is sometimes the hardest thing to do. Mitchell Museum say, “Let go, its going to be okay, hell, you might even enjoy it!”
If you hear no other song this week, hear Tiger Heartbeat.
