If you were to read this quote from co-founder Dave Alvin out of context, you’d swear it pertains to an avant-garde, improvising group. He and Alvin enlisted Krummenacher’s bandmate, guitarist David Immergluck, drummer Michael Jerome (Richard Thompson, John Cale), and singer/songwriter Jesse Sykes (Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter). Yet the Third Mind here, with the dual electric guitars, sends it toward Neil Young & Crazy Horse territory. The Third Mind completely transforms Mimi and Richard Farina’s “Reno, Nevada,” the second single, into a blues stomper as Alvin and Sykes share the vocals. Aron’s B3 subtly underpins Sykes’ prominent vocal and revs up in concert with the two explosive guitarists.
