Effective period / Period of releases: 1996

Members: Mary Timony, Joan Wasser, Kevin March, Nathan Larson

An indie-rock side project supergroup, Mind Science of the Mind features Shudder to Think guitarist Nathan Larson, Helium guitarist Mary Timony, and violinist Joan Wasser and drummer Kevin March from The Dambuilders. Larson writes and sings all the songs, and the result is a band that sounds pretty much like Shudder to Think with a violinist. Singer-Songwriter (and one-time Wasser romantic interest) Jeff Buckley joined them on tour as bassist.
