10mg formed in San Francisco with Matt Marinelli on vocals and guitar, Brandon Flowers on guitar, Ryan Trost on bass, and Jake Clemons on drums. They released their first album 'Illusions of Your Brain' in 2009, which included the song of the same name that became their most recognizable track.
That song 'Illusions of Your Brain' had a certain hypnotic quality that caught people's attention, with its layered rhythms and introspective lyrics. It wasn't exactly a mainstream hit, but it found an audience among listeners who appreciated its experimental approach to rock music.
They followed up with two more albums, 'Tomorrow's Science' in 2011 and 'Echoes of the Future' in 2014. Other songs like 'Kind' and 'Love / Hate' showed they were working with similar themes of perception and emotion, though none quite reached the same level of recognition as that first album's title track.
Their music drew from various influences, but they kept a fairly consistent sound across those three releases before fading from regular activity.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
