'The guitars, organ notes, every struck drumhead and cymbal crash resounds to cast the listener into their strange envelope-pushing atmospherics. One of the strongest debut albums I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. McNabb’s songwriting abilities and the band’s multi-instrument versatility are constantly on display. “Don’t Lose Your Mind” displays the versatility of The Beginner’s Mynd while never wavering far from the band’s psychedelic roots. Adding more '60s-style garage rock grit and attitude to the proceedings, along with some the best lyrics and songs written yet by the mind behind the Mynd, Dan McNabb, end to end the album delivers an excellent way to kick your summertime music listening into high gear! - 13 O'Clock Records The glorious 2017 debut full-length album from the Beginner's Mynd has arrived!
