Lightning 100 is excited to announce Bean. as our Frothy Monkey Local Artist of the Week with their song “Beautiful Mind”!
Bean. is a funk four-piece based out of Nashville, featuring Kobe Miyake, Jake Robuck, Harrison Finks, and Mateyko Jazwinski. They’ve been flying under the radar since 2023, releasing singles jam packed with lush synths and undeniably groovy percussion. Their self-titled EP came out last year and they haven’t slowed down since. Their current catalog is an authentic, grounded blend of funk, indie, and bits of prog rock. It reflects their individuality, but further, it shows that they’re just beginning to settle into their distinct sound.
This track we’re highlighting called “Beautiful Mind” is all about texture. One of their least moody songs, a piano at the center and all sorts of swirly synths create a dreamy world for wah-wah guitars to sneak in and force you to nod your head. Miyake’s vocals are rich and compliment the chaos that unravels as the song progresses. “Beautiful Mind” is a timeless love song that will be a staple of Bean.’s everexpanding journey as they continue flourishing in the groove they’ve created.
Listen to the audio version below!
