For anyone who's not got this yet, mylene sheath have a good package deal where you can get the four other 7"s they've got in print along with this preorder for 19.99. It pushed me into the preorder now zone rather than waiting till later. Excited to hear stuff from one of the guys from From Monuments to Masses. They called it quits shortly after the only time I got to see them, but they put on an excellent show.

"Every time they plug in, MINOT delivers unnervingly intense instrumental rock designed to flip the dance-switch in the listener’s brain with a platinum sledgehammer. MINOT’s style is deceptively complex: livid post-punk energy roils beneath a surface of cooly understated psychedelic instrumental composition. Their music is immediately familiar, yet they’re a singularity in the world of post-rock. MINOT (pronounced “MY-not”) has very little to do with those ubiquitous reverb-soaked crescendo-rock bands; they don’t borrow those sounds, nor do they dwell in melancholy themes. They are a bundle of contradictions: dark, but up-tempo; heavy, but danceable; aggressive, but patient. Their style has been shaped by experimental bands on the fringe of rock music, like Turing Machine, The Psychic Paramount, The Paper Chase, and Future Of The Left. These influences brought the three members to an interesting musical intersection. MINOT puts experimentalism and fury back into instrumental rock.

 

Guitarist/midi-programmer Matthew Solberg, formerly of From Monument To Masses (Dim Mak Records), began writing the music that would become MINOT shortly before FMTM broke up in 2010. He and drummer Shannon Corr had played together for years in the San Francisco Bay Area noise rock band TURKS as a rhythm section and it was that dynamic which largely defined the way they would proceed in 2011 with MINOT. Solberg’s guitar playing shunted into Corr’s drumming the way a bass guitar would, which allowed bassist Ben Thorne to explore a more unconventional space. Thorne had played for years in Low Red Land (Thinker Thought Records) and years later MINOT would be fortunate enough to share his skills with San Francisco’s Tartufi (Southern UK), a band with whom he still plays. His basslines throttle uncannily through roots and melodies alike. Corr’s drumming burns tirelessly and almost mechanically, invoking memories of Jerry Fuchs. Solberg has left most of his pretty melodic arpeggios behind, opting for jagged, biting riffs that shudder with strange effects and hummingbird-quick strumming.

 

MINOT move through their paces like veterans. From playing crazily energetic shows all over the West Coast in service of last year’s debut EP and 7", to producing their new LP with Robert Cheek at Red Room in Seattle, they are making every move count. The Mylene Sheath (Caspian, Pelican, Junius, Aeges) and Golden Antenna (Maserati, From Monument To Masses) will co-release the band’s first full-length LP on July 1, 2014. Tour dates, news, and more will be updated regularly at www.minotband.com."

Still haven't heard back from L&J after the Junius EP... :( + There's also a preorder from German label GOLDEN ANTENNA who have "100 x orange/black"...wrote them to see if it's the same splatter version sold by TMS; Therefore, not sure if I order or not!

I'll let you guys know as soon as I get the info. I know there are probably a few of you who want to snag the other press as well ;)

The Archipelago Rises will be getting the Mylene Sheath variants for those closer to Australia :)

 

Buy from this man!

 

I definitely hear the Turing Machine influence, esp on the drumming. Like YMDITD got tapped to do a Turing Machine follow up to Zwei (which needs a vinyl pressing btw). A sprinkle of Kerretta in places, too. Good stuff.
