New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nicole Atkins has shared "Mind Eraser," a new track from her upcoming album Italian Ice (May 29 / Single Lock Records) today. A groovy meditation on lucid dreaming co-written with My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel, the string-laden song draws from a wide range of influences including Serge Gainsbourg,
Radiohead and Roy Orbison. It's a wholly distinct addition to an album that
Nicole has described as "an acid trip through my record collection."
"Mind Eraser" follows the release of Italian Ice's radio single "Domino," which has been hailed by Pitchfork as "an apocalyptic groove" with "retro glamour" and "shades of French touch and
Jessie Ware." Rolling Stone deemed it "an excellent disco song for our troubled times." Co-produced by
Nicole and Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes), "Mind Eraser" was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio with a dynamite band consisting of Jim Sclavunos and
David "Moose" Sherman from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Dap-Kings' Binky Griptite, drummer McKenzie Smith (St. Vincent, Midlake), and Spooner Oldham and
David Hood of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.
Nicole will continue her "Alone We're All Together" weekly livestream series at 7PM ET tomorrow night. The series has featured a wide range of special guests through its first few weeks, including Dean Ween, Lilly Hiatt and Hamilton Leithauser (who is also one of Nicole's Italian Ice co-writers). This week's episode will feature
Aaron Lee Tasjan, AJ Haynes of Seratones and
Thomas Truax.
