Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on a historically ill-fated day, 'Mink Car' sees the idiosyncratic duo fully integrating highly polished, danceable electronics into their sound. The album is incredibly eclectic, bouncing rapidly between drum machine-driven power pop and their signature, highly literate quirkiness.
