“Metropolis (Acoustic)”: An acoustic reinterpretation of a track that has been a fan favorite since its inception.
Lead singer Sameer Gadhia shared his thoughts on the albums impact: “Mind Over Matter is an album that was the product of us taking a lot of sonic risks and ended up being a stepping stone in our craft that helped us grow as artists and individuals. We’ve loved seeing this album become a fan staple, especially the song ‘Mind Over Matter.’ Over the last few years, there’s been a resurgence and rediscovery of the song that has been so organic and beautiful. We’re proud to present this 10-Year Anniversary edition that includes ‘What You Get,’ a previously unreleased song pulled from our archives, two demos of fan favorite songs ‘Mind Over Matter’ and ‘Camera’, and acoustic track ‘Metropolis.’”
