Mind My Mind was recorded at
K-Klangstudio
with Ron Henseler and Ritchy Fondermann. Several early demo versions are
included further down on this page, documenting how the songs developed
before the band entered the studio.
The album features guest appearances by Chris Reardon of Plaiins on Aisles as well as a small choir including members of FRAUPAUL, Kommando Kant — including future Palila drummer Lilli — and Entropy.
After the album was finished, Mattze, Christoph and Sascha decided that future songs no longer fitting Palila would be released under a separate project. That decision led to the creation of Would.
The album received a warm response and was followed by an extensive touring cycle, including an appearance at the Orange Blossom Special Festival.
