Minuit Release Last Night You Saw This Band

30 November 2012 - 0 Comments

With christmas and summer swiftly approaching Minuit is set to release their 4th studio album ‘Last Night You Saw this Band”.

A much more stripped down outing than we're used to from Minuit, 'Last Night You Saw this Band ' presents a range of stellar songs to shine through, crisp and percussive, a perfect summer album. There is even harmonica, gypsy brass, rhythmic island beats, swampy slide guitar, and some kids from an orphange in Haiti.

Having toured their synths and samplers from Hanoi to Helsinki on the live circuit for over a decade, this trio have crafted their own energetic sound.

The birth place for many of the songs was Rarotonga. You can hear rain on the corrugated iron roof as vocalist Ruth Carr sung ideas into her dictaphone. Some sung from the back of a motorbike, others with water lapping on the side of the boat as she waits between scuba dives.

Title track Last Night You Saw this Band taps into those grounding moments when friends remind you what life is all about - “you say that nothing matters, there's only grace and disgrace” - all to the background of a surprisingly, mariachi-style house party.

‘Last Night You Saw this Band' – out for release on the 21st of December
