Going back for the one thing by The Mint Chicks I've never heard: their second EP.
Man, these guys are just a creative, talented bunch. There's 2 more tracks of Octagon, Octagon, Octagon's Blood Brothers-esque thrashing here, but the band has mellowed a bit, sounding more like Gang of Four in places, having the patience to build tension and texture, and they have some downright experimental pieces to begin and end the record. It makes me wonder why these guys never got bigger, they're exactly the kind of thing the indie press is into these days. Before their time? Or maybe just too damn Southern Hemisphere.
Cool stuff, still really dig these guys 4/5
