HIVE MIND — written and produced entirely by THE INTERNET — is the band’s follow up to their breakthrough third album, Ego Death. That album’s fresh sound — funk-tinged beats, laced with slinky guitars, evocative keys, and heart-striking lyrics about relationships with women — earned it a GRAMMY nomination for Best Urban Contemporary album, countless sold out shows, and massive acclaim on an international scale, quickly catapulting THE INTERNET to one of the most exciting new artists of this decade.

And we want to really solidify ourselves as that, as the best.”
THE INTERNET will be touring extensively throughout the rest of 2018, including dates opening for Gorillaz this fall, and playing as part of their inaugural American Demon Dayz festival in Los Angeles this October. See dates below.
