“Sea Jasmine” by Mind Bath

Mind Bath has released new single “Sea Jasmine”, the track is off the artist’s forthcoming album Aqueous, accompanied by a conceptual literary-musical work comprising a full-length album and companion debut novel, both arriving September 4 via Lighter Than Air.

The album features a collaboration with fellow Canadian and acclaimed transgender activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland on one of its tracks, alongside the recent singles “Acid Nine” and “Seasons Change and So Do I Bitch”.

On the new single Mind Bath says, “I travelled to Zipolite, Mexico, to write Aqueous, staying in a treehouse overlooking the ocean. I met a gorgeous creature named Gabriel and watched them for hours as they completely surrendered to the waves. ‘In the ocean I get to be part of the all-one. Just me and my sister, me and the ocean, me and all my dead loves,’ they told me. They shared the story of their soulmate and sister, Jasmine, who passed away so young, and how the ocean became the place where they could remain in relationship with her. ‘It’s a dance that she has been teaching me my whole life.’

“Years later, Adrian Underhill sent me this instrumental. I stripped everything away, leaving only the acoustic guitars. In the open space, I thought of them, and how I could bring a classic folk, Helplessly Hoping sound to their story. ‘Sea Jasmine’ became a song about togetherness that doesn’t end where death begins. The ocean as portal, freedom, and reunion. Another song for Jasmine and Gabriel to dance to.”
