47 One of my favourite albums of all time. This is a group of very talented musicians doing something new and ultimately strikingly beautiful, at a time when new music almost never achieves anything similar. Favorite track: Escher's Waterfall Carried Us Away.

Jack Miller I love it! The equivalent to three hours chilling in the bath and mulling stuff over. Favorite track: Morning Rain In June.

SuddenLiberation As I was touched by the first album by No Clear Mind, so I was carried away by this one. This guys look like another band here: more concentrated on the general album mood and conception, they have created solid and thoughtful music, giving melancholy feeling and bringing back memories of longing for something or somebody.
For me Mets is absolutely perfect and polished album, one of the best releases of 2013 and definitely my favourite by No Clear Mind. Favorite track: Escher's Waterfall Carried Us Away.

about

No Clear Mind already have a loyal audience thanks to their first album, "Dream Is Destiny", which was self-released in 2009 and freely distributed over the internet and now lists thousands of downloads. Their new album is titled "Mets" and is released in April 2013 via Inner Ear.

"Mets" is a cinematic narrative of ten instrumental tracks based on melody and unstrained rhythmicity. Having strong autobiographical elements, the tracks function as a music depiction of past memories and emotional states, small stories tied inextricably with the track titles.

It all started in the homonymous neighborhood of Athens, initially as a personal project of Vasilis Dokakis on ambient instrumental themes with intense cinematic elements. At the same time along with Lefteris Volanis (through their side project Mother Tree) they began to indulge in psychedelic folk and the rhythmic perception of the 70s. A building in the heart of Mets, that houses for years now the artistic activities of various Athenian creative teams, was to become the "home" and a source of inspiration for No Clear Mind. The small apartment was turned into a studio. Vasilis Dokakis took over the composition and production and through his daily interaction with Lefteris Volanis and the three new members of the band began a project of intensive recordings, testing, changes and arrangements that lasted over 2 years and resulted in the recording of countless versions, from which stood out the 10 tracks of "Mets".

A DIY production approach was consciously followed in order to capture the ideas musical range of "Mets" without any time limits. The emphasis in the orchestration part, the intense lyricism and the choice of a “wall of sound” aesthetics demanded the very well-thought-out arrangement of the numerous instruments used. It is worth noting that, along with the folk influences and the 70s melodic and rhythmic elements, the entire album gives off a rare Greek aroma as perceived by No Clear Mind.

“Mets” is released in double 10inch vinyl (including bonus cd) and digital album from Inner Ear.

Vasilis Dokakis (vocals, guitars, piano, programming)
Lefteris Volanis (vocals, guitars)
Kostas Haliotis (drums)
Dimitris Pagidas (piano, synth)
Babis Theoharis (bass)
