Introducing Raymnd: A Psychedelic Dream from Minneapolis

A new voice has emerged from Minneapolis—one that blends the past and the future in a haze of color, emotion, and sound. Meet Raymnd, a genre-defying artist whose debut album, RAYMND!, introduces him with remarkable clarity and ambition.

Released on February 1, 2024, via Yellowstone Records, the 12-track record is a lush, dreamy collection that folds together '60s psychedelia, funk grooves, and the ambient textures of modern dream pop.

Clocking in at 42 minutes, RAYMND! unfolds like a long, vivid exhale. The album pulls from a wide range of influences—think The Beatles, Prince, Beach House, and Mazzy Star—but it never sounds derivative. Raymnd takes these inspirations and filters them through his own lens, creating something hypnotic, emotionally rich, and unmistakably his own.

The album opens with Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, a bittersweet and shimmering track about the impermanence of connection. Its tight pop structure and hazy atmosphere set the tone for what’s to follow: a journey through heartbreak, memory, healing, and self-discovery.

From there, A Song for You and Sweet Love deliver dreamy slow jams built on retro synths and soulful melodies. Diamond Heist, one of the album’s catchier standouts, adds swagger and surreal charm, while Sunflower Gardens brings warmth and psychedelic calm—like a sonic daydream.

Raymnd’s lyricism is personal without being opaque. Tracks like It Won’t Be Long Now and These Things Never Change are emotionally resonant, exploring themes of time, change, and longing with poetic restraint. The raw honesty continues on Isabelle, a short, heartaching track that feels like a quiet confession, and Dancing With Your Ghost, a gentle confrontation with memory and loss.

Later in the album, I’m Still Dreaming floats through soft, echoing textures, evoking both wonder and melancholy. Paranoia, the longest track at nearly five minutes, is a dark, brooding centerpiece—slow-burning and cinematic in scope. And as the album nears its close, “Is This the End?” poses the kind of open question that lingers long after the music fades out.

What truly stands out is RAYMND!’s cohesiveness. Despite its varied moods and sonic palettes, the album flows naturally—like one long, introspective thought. Raymnd’s vocal delivery is soft yet commanding, and his production choices create a space that feels immersive and alive.

Before releasing this full-length debut, Raymnd had been quietly building momentum through a series of well-received singles. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (April 15, 2024) teased the emotional tone of the album with its melancholic brightness. Clarity (released August 3, 2024) leaned further into dreamy pop territory, showcasing Raymnd’s knack for atmosphere and melody. His November 2024 single, I’ll Always Remember Those Days, arrived like a love letter to the past—nostalgic, tender, and deeply felt.

Together, these tracks formed a kind of emotional breadcrumb trail, leading to RAYMND!—an album that delivers on every promise they made.

In an era dominated by quick hits and fleeting trends, Raymnd’s debut feels refreshingly intentional. It’s an album meant to be absorbed in full, headphones on, distractions off. For fans of Tame Impala, Toro y Moi, or Kevin Morby, Raymnd offers something similarly transportive yet uniquely his own.

With RAYMND!, he’s not just introducing himself—he’s creating a sonic world worth visiting again and again.
