Mint Field Share Sensibilidad Dormida

Leave a comment

You had to know that if Mint Field tossed out another single it was going to get covered over here, as I’ve certainly been in the band’s corner, since their early days. Aprender A Ser was great, and with the extended version we’re getting a glimpse at some of the music that’s been burrowing inside the band’s heads. This tune is perfect at blending the old and new, in regards to the band’s history; it offers up this cavernous dream-state, ushering you into the depths of the earth, then turning and opening up with these burning bits of guitar noise that add primal layer to the band’s style. It all tip-toes to a quite drip through your speakers, the last remaining drop echoing as the abrupt end comes your way. Aprender A Ser: The Extended Version is out August 30th via Felte Records.

Mint Field Announce Extended Aprender a Ser EP

Leave a comment

I’ve been an avowed Mint Field fanatic since their earliest days in the psych scene. But, their last LP, Aprender a Ser introduced us to an entirely new band, seemingly. They began to move into more ambient pieces and delved into the dreamier corners of your listening rotation; they had some tunes left over it looks like, so they’re dropping the Extended Version EP this August. Our first listen has two new songs, both teasing what the band have been working on, with “Una flor sin interior” (Flower with no inside?) really blowing the hair back. At first, it just sort of takes the ambient trickling, draping soft vocals atop, but just you wait for that 1 minute mark, and be sure your volume is appropriately adjusted. The other tune “Ve hacia la ventana” (Look out the window?) takes a similar approach, using soft brushstrokes to open the door for listeners before applying a more abrasive edge to the tune; they waver back and forth, perhaps all of this hinting at where they’ll go on the next LP. Aprender a Ser: Extended Version will be out on August 30th via Felte Records.
