Minus Story
With an off-kilter, neo-psychedelic passion for sunny melodies and quirky instrumentation, Minus Story are the next generation of Flaming Lips acid pop dream-makers. Influenced by everyone from the Beatles and Beach Boys to the Zombies and Yes, Minus Story mash all the pop experimentation they can muster into one freaky, harmony-laden trip.
Hailing from Boonville, MO, but with strong ties to the Lawrence, KS, rock scene, Minus Story formed in 2000 with guitarist and vocalist Jordan Geiger, bassist Brian Phillips, guitarist {$Andy B...[more]

Minus Story craft melodies and harmonies that dig truly and deeply under your skin, displacing all those feelings that keep you low and on the outside. Although Minus Story have already put out two records, one of them self-released, you don't know this band yet. But you will soon. Trust us on this one. Their mystical third full-length, "The Captain is Dead, Let The Drum Corpse Dance," is fuzzy and full of sunshine but also wistful and billowing and full of dark clouds and cold rain, much like the music of [ read more ]

If we could hear the angels singing about us, they would be in harmony with the chosen sons of Boonville, Missouri. Their heavenly racket shuffles, flutters, crashes and bangs all about us. Their reedy artistic voice nears multi-octave range. Their rhythmic presence delights us in a sublime collision of the conventional and the experimental. And while their trademarked "Wall of Crap" sound is still present to some degree, No Rest for Ghosts has transcended the earnest collage aesthetic of sounds batt [ read more ]

Minus Story's debut record for Jagjaguwar, The Captain Is Dead, Let The Drum Corpse Dance, drew rave reviews and solidified the band's standing as young sonic provocateurs on the brink of widespread notoriety, as fertile crafters of mystical melodies and harmonies that dig under your skin. Drawing from the spirit of The Captain Is Dead... but looking unflinchingly towards the future, Minus Story have now created a new shorter work that will inspire the same kind of fervent reaction as their Ja [ read more ]

Released by Mercrider Record Co. in 2001 and now available from SC Distribution for the first time, Moebius Syndrome is the precursor to 2004's breakthrough album on Jagjaguwar, The Captain is Dead, Let The Drum Corpse Dance. Minus Story craft melodies and harmonies that dig truly and deeply under your skin, displacing all those lead-filled chiggers of life that keep you low and on the outside. Moebius Syndrome begins to define Minus Story's self-proclaimed "Wall of Crap" sound-resembling a naively recorde [ read more ]

In the distance the land kisses the sky. If you squint just right you can see Minus Story in flux there, somewhere between earthbound and ethereal, making sunspots on the horizon with their noisy and melodic headphone pop. They speak their own codified musical language as only childhood friends can share. Tirelessly artistic yet unpretentious, they are unafraid of abject noise, folk, soul, or straight-up pop rock. My Ion Truss is an epic and anthemic cross between Pearl Jam, Queen, Brian Eno, and Rox [ read more ]
