Cayley Thomas - "Two Minds"

Last month we became enamored with Edmonton's Cayley Thomas's song "Blue Jean Baby."  Luckily for us all she's back with another new song, "Two Minds." "Two Minds" keeps on with the glorious mainstream Americana meets indie rock and dream pop sound we loved from her last song.

It’s like when you’re on an airplane and they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before assisting other passengers." You can watch the video for "Blue Jean Baby" below.
