2012, self released,
"!mindparade's debut album Everything is Happening is an ambitious low-fi bedroom symphony marked by flourishing psychedelic arrangements and dreamy tunes that recall everything from Deerhunter to T. Rex to the Elephant 6 Collective. The Bloomington-based 8-piece band, led by singer-songwriter Alex Arnold, follow up on the promise of their first release, (everything ep), and deliver an enjoyable scattershot of songs that provide a terrific introduction to one of Bloomington's most exciting new bands." -NUVO
"...an eclectic eight-piece specializing in everything from synths to bass, !mindparade has turned Arnold’s sketches into a wonderfully creative psych-rock album, Everything Is Happening." -OBSCURE SOUND
"Everything is Happening lays out a snapping ebb and flow between smart pop and more esoteric embellishments that don’t lose their grip, or way, waffling between the two." -SUNRISE OCEAN BENDER
