In Two Minds is an Aussie songwriting team, all about fresh harmonic progressions, timeless melodies and unique band feel. Their new single ‘Crooked Crown’ looks with hope to a future guided by Indigenous knowledge, where land and resources are sacred treasures, not just commodities to be possessed or exploited. Ray Goodwin, (known for his time in Aussie/NZ Prog Rock band Dragon and later John Paul Young & The All Stars) wrote much of the lyrics in Crooked Crown. Rays ancestors were Tongans on one side and Scottish immigrants to Lutriwita (Tasmania), surveyors working for the Crown whose duties in the Colonisation process saw the Indigenous owners tragically dispossessed. Ray’s active association with the Coloured Diggers Memorial, with Ray Minniecon and the Babana Men’s Group are integral in his musical efforts to right wrongs and shine a light in the interests of national harmony. Aboriginal Elder Ray Minniecon’s striking voice is heard at the beginning of ‘Crooked Crown’ saying,

Presenting to you, the byproduct of the amalgamation of the minds of two individuals destined to become purveyors of plush auditory delectation. Combining our amassed knowledge of all things musical, we create a concoction of structured noise for you and your subconscious to savor and indulge in til' your heart's content.
