The psychedelic supergroup MIEN performs "Black Habit" in KUTX Studio 1A on April 26, 2018.

The band brings together Alex Maas of The Black Angels, Rishi Dhir of Elephant Stone, John-Mark Lapham of The Earlies and Tom Furse of The Horrors. Drawing from the members’ shared fascination with experimental production, Eastern instrumentation and vintage psychedelia, MIEN builds dense, immersive songs that feel connected to the past without simply recreating it.

Recorded during the group’s first chapter, this Studio 1A session captures four musicians from different bands and cities coming together around a shared psychedelic language.

Musicians:
Alex Maas — vocals, guitar
Rishi Dhir — sitar, bass, keyboards
John-Mark Lapham — keyboards, electronics
Tom Furse — keyboards, electronics
Thor Harris — percussion
