We're beyond excited to release Minden's new album Sweet, Simple Things today, out everywhere digitally and on vinyl.
There's a subtle sexuality that penetrates Minden's saccharine indie pop. Erotic themes of bondage and role playing juxtapose with frontman Casey Burge's lighter subjects, such as searching for authenticity while selecting the right soda pop — it's all enough to leave one wiping his brow and licking her lips.
On the Portland quintet's new album Sweet, Simple Things, Burge and his band hone an evocative collection of smooth and danceable tunes, indulging in confectionary hooks laid over funky grooves. The nine song LP is delicious in its oddity, befitting feel good moments from West Coast summers to Parisian night clubs.
Order now on standard black vinyl, limited to 500 copies. Includes digital download card.
The smooth nine-track LP is the Portland quintet's first Hit City U.S.A. release and showcases frontman Casey Burge's brilliantly subtle knack for indie-pop songwriting and intricately funky compositions. There's a soulful sensuality that runs throughout from pondering the most pure beverage choice on "Real Sugar" to the seductive propositions on title track "Sweet, Simple Things." Burge reflected on the record and had this to say:
"Far and away the most personal songs Minden has made, Sweet, Simple Things may not be for everyone. It's born out of a particular time and place, yet it's meant to be welcoming and timeless. Depth is negotiable. Intentions aside, we hope you hear it all, no matter where you're coming from. Let's party."
