Review: Minks, Funeral Song 7"

The Minks 'official site' is a string of photos ranging from cigarette butts to Joy Division skateboards to Lux Interior in classic form and Matt Dillon in Drugstore Cowboy. Funeral Song is just as collaged. The bass sound is high, and emulates the lead guitar which floats along with squeaky synth, making it seem happy ('summertime and i like it') and sad (Funeral song) at the same time. The 7" is post-punk garage rock which is expected from Captured Tracks, every band on the label could play all at once, and many wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It's a great alternative to some super-rosters out there.
