If anything, the Internet's profile has only been raised since 2015's Ego Death, with Syd's strong solo album and the growing prominence of Steve Lacy's Rickenbacker-driven production sound arguing for the neo-soul band's influence on the R&B/rap world. They'll get to cash in that cultural cache on July 20, when their latest album Hive Mind comes out. The group's launched a new single called "Come Over" to go with that announcement, and as the kids say, it's a big tune.

You can listen to "Come Over" below.Phil is on Twitter.
