Good Day Noir Family,
The bass and drums in “Mind Over Matter” lock in together with an urgency that feels like motion itself — the kind of tight, driving groove that keeps you hooked from the opening seconds.

They move in perfect unison, like shadows chasing each other, forming a sturdy foundation that recalls the steady momentum of a train on steel tracks.
Riding above this rhythmic engine, the guitar traces the rails but isn’t afraid to wander, occasionally stepping out with sharp, ringing notes that expand the stereo field and add unexpected glimmers to the mix.
The vocal delivery leans heavily into the rhythm, almost percussive in its phrasing. At times, it carries a spoken-word cadence, evoking echoes of Lou Reed’s cool detachment in The Velvet Underground, yet it’s filtered through a grittier, modern lens. This choice not only grounds the track but also adds a raw, street-level character that pairs perfectly with the band’s unpolished energy.
Compositionally, “Mind Over Matter” has an undeniable vintage edge. Its DNA carries strands of classic British punk and rock — the kind of influences that fuel irreverence and give the track a slightly rebellious smirk. There’s a hypnotic pull to the verses, almost trance-like, as the rhythm section keeps pounding forward. Then, the choruses burst open with distorted, slightly acidic chords that jolt the listener out of the trance, injecting adrenaline right where it’s needed.
The guitar solo is very cool: instinctive, unrefined, and free from unnecessary gloss. It’s not about technical flash — it’s about immediacy, about the sound of fingers hitting strings with intent. By the time the final notes fade, “Mind Over Matter” has established itself as a nod to the past and a punch into the present.
This is a track for those who like their rock raw, their rhythms relentless, and their hooks delivered with attitude. Televised Mind have tapped into something timeless while keeping their feet planted firmly in the now.
