"The move a few years back from San Diego to Portland was a good one for Minmae frontman Sean Brooks, whose dense, old-school style of indie rock is often offset by moody pacings, atmospherics, and lyrical themes (imagine Smog writing less ironic songs for Pavement)." -- CMJ NMM
All of Minmae's songs are facing west, toward the land of the dead. Not because the band has a fascination with the afterlife, but because, when the excavators pry open the tombs and hear the disparate sounds of this prolific band/concept, they will know that there was at least some pattern and meaning to it all.
Songwriter Sean Brooks's penchant for turning the caustic into works of morbid beauty is once again evident on Minmae's most inspired and cohesive work to date. Following the success of 2006's Le grand essor de la maison du monstre, Portland indie rockers Minmae return with a new album, a new line-up, and a new mission statement.
835, their ninth full-length (and third on Greyday Records), finds the band at the crossroads of experimental and pop, noise and rhythm, chaos and order. Recorded in the band's hometown after spending four of the previous six months on the road, the fruits of a very spatially dispersed labor have culminated in a fourteen-song pop detour that documents Minmae at a peak, a phase, a transition, a beginning, and an end, all at once.
