Mineral – Might As Well Be Here (Green LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Mineral never got their flowers while it mattered. The Austin quartet burned through the late '90s in near-total obscurity, quietly rewriting the emotional vocabulary that countless bands would later spend careers borrowing, then broke up before anyone outside a tight circle of believers caught on. What you're holding is the corrective.
The complete Crank!-era recordings of seminal Texas not emo quartet Mineral are here. Gathered across three LPs are replicas of 1996's The Power of Failing, swan song sophomore effort EndSerenading, plus... And What Remains-a new collection of singles and demos. Nina Corcoran's in-depth notes untangle the complicated history of second wave's avoidant middle brother, all illustrated by dozens of period photographs, flyers, and lyrics in eye-scorching color. Testify.
