about

The 2020 Mind is an EP recorded socially distanced by 3 dudes in their own spaces. Pandemic requirements! We all recorded at our homes and then Robb mixed it all up! In a way they are like raw sexy basement demos, you know those garage like songs you love so much? Yep that was our goal! Since there was no official mastering done, and the project came cool we decided to share it with you all as is.

This was our version of therapy. Really it was! All of the songs pretty much reflect what we all were going through emotionally last year. That is why Gwon decided to add the photo he picked for the cover, that is how he felt! Perhaps you will relate to that!

We hope you enjoy the first EP of Planets In The Ocean! Feel free to call us PITO!! We kind of like it! Want a shirt or a sweatshirt? Let us know... we might put something together soon!

HUGE thanks to Ric Penttila and Max Rose for adding horns on Back to the Shore! Those dudes are insane good!!! We couldn't afford them but they did it anyway!

Thanks for listening! You all rock!! Hope we can play this live someday! Who freaking knows!!

BIG BIG LOVE!

-PITO
