Cornelius is making the most of his comeback. In June 2023 he released his first album in six years, Dream In Dream, which he followed up a year later with the May single “Too Much Love For Sauna (Falling Deep).” Last month, he put out an ambient album titled Ethereal Essence. Now, the Japanese avant-pop musician has another new song out called “Mind Train.”

“Mind Train” is a nine-minute odyssey driven by a winding, looping guitar riff and chugging synths. It takes its time crescendoing up until a few moments of spacey calmness, before revving back up again. Listen to it below.

What’s more, Cornelius has announced a handful of West Coast gigs for September, marking his first North American tour in five years. Find tickets here.
