You Should Know About: Minus Story

Minus Story - "Stitch Me Up"

Released last month on Jagjaguwar, My Ion Tuss is the latest release from Minus Story. Listeners familiar with Explosions In The Sky probably won't be surprised to find that this was produced by John Congleton (who twiddled the knobs for The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place and All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone) . Both the guitar and the drums could easily be straight off either of the aforementioned EITS records, but that's where the comparisons end. John Geiger's lyrics are delivered in a way that gives this song a fine balance between ethereal pop and wide open post-rock. This is my first introduction to Minus Story and based on this record, I'll be tracking down their earlier releases soon.
