The first Hive Mind release of 2026 is now up on a Bandcamp for pre-order.
The album is Nocturnes by Jesse Hackett, a beautiful plunge into an eerie world of rain-soaked twilight jazz and gothic chamber music.
Alongside saxophonist and flautist Finn Peters, Jesse has created a deliciously downbeat album of works that channel the spirits of Erik Satie, Maurice Ravel, Olivier Messiaen, or the jazz lineage of Bill Evans and Charles Mingus.
The album is out in full on February 27th both digitally and as a limited vinyl run of 250 copies. You can listen to Rain Soaked Choker right now.

Nocturnes . Releases On Limited Vinyl February 27 @hive_mind_records
Boomkat Review : Hackett came up with the album after long nights with Accidental alumnus Peters going back and forth over music from Erik Satie, Oliver Messiaen and Charles Mingus. Peters is a worthy collaborator, matching Hackettâs limber piano performance (and subtle production touches) with evocative, breathy soundscapes that sound as if theyâve been recorded straight to 1/2â tape in some elegant leather-clad â70s Italian studio.

Billys Garden . Private Art Book
Billyâs garden documents the private work of Bill Hackett . His working environment a home made shed at the bottom of the garden surrounded by nature , plants , compost , earth soil and wood .
The juxtaposition of the raw organic elements , life death and decay , his tools and home & Beloved granddaughter as extensions of his creative universe as a craftsman .
Bills pieces are never usually planned in advance of making them . He describes each head slowly revealing itself and coming to life as he channels himself and his dreams into the wood . Once confessing that he talks to his tools on a regular basis he connects with a deep imagination and subconscious and depicts the gods and Demons , insects and other unworldly entities which inhabit his soul .

I wrote this poem about an experience with depersonalisation (the supposed inspiration for Munchâs scream painting) I had some time ago... A reality altering breakdown in which it feels like time itself stops and the person u remember to be disappears. They say to lucid dream u must touch something to realise u have lost all touch, this the way to control your dream. To try and save myself from losing myself during this nightmare spell I touched a cold van door to discover whether I was lost for good. I felt the cold hard steel and started to re-enter reality. The never ending road grew positively shorter. The end was in sight. I finally remembered who I wasâŠ

đLarksđ
why didnât we hear the sky larks ?
Why didnât we hear them sing ?
In your flight of attack,
in this bland flannel grey confines of a Monday court hearing
I remembered who u are and feel sorry for what youâve become
We should observe the Heather
Impermanent like the weather and purple as the dawn
There is a distant blue window
There is a a clearing in Gods ceiling
