Echoing 60s beat music and more general retrocore, ‘Out of My Mind’ is certainly an elegant record, one that’s built on tradition while maintaining a modern flair. Introduced by evocative, poignant vocals and a wholesome full band arrangement, the track sees British singer-songwriter Andy Smythe doing what he does best: delivering enchanting lyricism over dreamy and relatable sonic energy.
While he’s adamant about mentioning longtime heroes Lennon and McCartney as primary inspiration, it’s clear that ‘Out of My Mind’ goes much deeper, travelling decades of instrumental eclecticism in order to reach a fuller, more intriguing creative vision. The track anticipates a longer album, ‘Prodigal Son’, expected for March 1st; judging on what we heard so far, we are in for a charming treat!
Lyrically, the single explores the flow of life with nostalgia and a critical look at love and relationships, potentially aiming to inspire any keen listener. ‘Out of My Mind’ also benefits from a stunning animated video, set in the busy streets of London.
