Psych Supergroup MIEN Is Back!

After nearly seven years, MIEN—the boundary-pushing psychedelic collective featuring members of The Black Angels, Elephant Stone, The Earlies, and Golden Dawn Arkestra—has finally returned with a new album, ‘MIIEN,’ out on April 18 via Fuzz Club.

To mark their long-awaited comeback, the band has unveiled Evil Peoplea pulsing, synth-driven psych-rock anthem that sets the tone for what’s to come.

Evil People has its roots in a 2015 collaboration between frontman Alex Maas and Danish producer Trentemøller. Fast forward to March 2022, when the band reconvened in Austin, TX for an intensive three-day recording session during SXSW. The rare chance to be in the same room sparked an explosion of creativity, leading to the birth of Evil People—a track that embodies MIEN’s dark, hypnotic energy like never before.

A New Era of Psychedelia

In a genre that often plays it safe, MIEN thrives on sonic adventure. Their second album, ‘MIIEN,’ pushes the limits of psychedelic music, blending swirling synths, hypnotic grooves, and raw emotional depth to create something otherworldly and immersive.

Following up their critically acclaimed 2018 debut, this album represents a bold new chapter, taking their experimental spirit to new heights.

Crafted across Montreal, Abilene, and Austin, the album was built from fragments of loops, haunting vocals, and pulsing beats—each element carefully layered and transformed into an intricate sonic landscape.

Alex Maas’s haunting vocals add an eerie, yet captivating depth, while John Mark Lapham’s production wizardry brings unexpected twists and textures to every track.

“We’re always pushing ourselves into new territory,” says Rishi Dhir. “A simple idea can become something huge when we all put our stamp on it.”

From ‘60s psych to cutting-edge electronic sounds, ‘MIIEN’ bridges the past, present, and future of psychedelia.
