Track Listing
- The Year Without a Summer
- Maya Blue
- How To Be (You, You’re Awesome Remix)
- Can’t (Superaction80 Remix)
Two-and-a-half minutes of frentic synth noise, back with a thick, fuzzed out slab of shoegazer drone-pop. Farfisa, harmonium, and mellotron shimmer and swirl around a raucous mess of drum loops and guitar, smothering a couple pure pop gems in a sea of distortion. Michael Bond and Matt Dennewitz fulfill their usual duties in this electronic duo, with GD Mills from Fuck Knights filling in on drums. Self-recorded in a bedroom and practice space in Ukrainian Village, Chicago. The seven inch single will be available in late March from the Data Was Lost label. This CD version contains two bonus remixes of tracks from “Songs About Music” by You, You’re Awesome and Superaction80.

Their sophomore release is the album they’ve been long threatening to record: a towering mountain of melody and pop production that was both lament and celebration – and is as infectious as listening to a box of old 8-tracks in your Uncle Don’s basement. Recorded primarily by x-Hot Rod Circuit Michael Poorman at Strangeways Recording in Providence, R.I., Minky also teamed up with pal Ken Stringfellow (Posies, Big Star) in Paris, France at Le Domicile Studio, and with Chris Manning (Jellyfish, Guster) out at Salamander Sound in sunny California. This refined line-up features Mike Musburger (Posies, Fastbacks) on drums. These dashing gentlemen have taken sticky sweet rock and roll and turned it into a daily anthem for the soul.
