Mimas again

Once again I recommend Mimas.
They have done a cover of "This Town Needs Guns" - "26 is dancier than 4".
I have never gotten into TTNG, but in my opinion Mimas' cover "26 is Danish for 4" is much better.
Nice and slow - and very playful.
I have read about ppl who thought that Worries was too weird and experimental. Not me, but if 26 is sign of Mimas' direction for the future, it looks like it might have a little bit of a clearer expression on their next album/ EP whatever we have in store.
Demo of 26 is Danish for 4 is here

I don't feel like saying much these days. Feels better to just look and listen.

Mimas: Beneath the glad sunbeam

Mimas - The Worries

So I got Mimas - The Worries, a while ago. So I should write something. As far as I know it is hardly out in Denmark, and I got it in the mail with a cute handwritten note by Daniel in the band.
Some of the tracks I have already listen to a thousand times, before they made the cd, but I can't seem to get enough, even now. Opening is the beautiful Treehouse, almost certainly made for the purpose of opening. Mac is nicely energetic. Dads is one of the main pieces on Worries in my opinion (and probably in their own opinion, considering the chant in it). The quiet trumpet bit with the kids in the middle makes my skin crawl. Why in the world not? changes the mood of the cd. Now it's darker, more serious. Keep quiet and Beneath the glad sunbeam are favourites.
It is no wonder that this record had to be made in the UK, it is much too big for DK, but also too weird, bloody and pretty.
Thank you - come again...
Soon!

I recently preordered Mimas' "The Worries". They are one of my favourites of late and the preview "Dads" on myspace is brilliant.
So you preorder it too, please :) So we can listen together...
Also I did finish that book, mentioned earlier, but I can't be bother with what to think or write about it right now.
