Mild Minds – ‘DESTINATIONS’

Plant released SWIM, his debut EP as Mild Minds, back in 2018. He followed it up two years later with debut full-length MOOD. Discussing the album in 2020, Plant said the project represented “opening up my mind a little bit more,” after having spent much of his music career “stuck in specific worlds.”

“This was about just stopping the self-sabotaging road blocks, that we all do no matter what our live is,” he explained at the time. “I just wanted to see what would actually happen if I didn’t stop myself.”

Since then, Plant has released a remix album featuring songs from MOOD reworked by the likes of ford., Laurence Guy, Hanz, Jacques Green, DJ Boring and The Kite String Tangle. Last year, he released the five-track EP IT WON’T DO.

Miami Horror’s last album, meanwhile, arrived in 2015 with All Possible Futures. They followed that up with EP The Shapes in 2017. They’ve released a handful of standalone singles since then, and in 2021, released a 10th anniversary edition of debut album Illumination featuring remixes, B-sides and more.
