Monday Music: 311 – Too Much To Think & North American Tour Announcement

This week on Monday Music we’ve got the first single from the 12th studio album from the legendary 311. Check out the video for Too Much To Think below!

This is all really surprising to me.

Personally, I’ve relegated 311 to a “dead band”. A punchline to a joke about milquetoast music. Never really exploring the band’s content, I almost dismissed the press release all together; I was just going to write up the new Weeknd music video instead. I stopped and thought “ehhh, lets just give it a chance”.

I was blown away. What the hell happened to 311?! This wasn’t what I remembered them as. I even went back and listened to some of their older work.

Too Much To Think is a tremendous single. It has a very “modern” feel: The production is tight, the lyrics feel like they could come from any Top 40 tropical house track, the instrumentals are vibrant and relaxing. I am getting this nostalgic feeling for a band that holds no nostalgia for me.

The band’s newest album, MOSAIC, is out this summer. I will definitely be getting my hands on it.
