Let “Blow My Mind” whisk you into the rich sonic landscape of The Ocean Blue, surrounded by beautiful imagery of Minneapolis as fall turns to winter. Shot around Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, Kenwood Park and directed by Korda’s Allison LaBonne; “Blow My Mind” is an appetizer to tide you over until the much anticipated 3/19/13 release of The Ocean Blue “Ultramarine” LP on Korda Records!
