Trans-European ethereal/electronic duo M1nk has released a brand new stormy single with an accompanying video "The Far Side" and fans of bands like Savages, Portishead, David Lynch, Nick Cave &The Bad Seeds, Sigur Ros, Radiohead and Alt J shouldn't miss it.
M1nk (pronounced 'em one en kay') is a duo based in the UK and Greece, comprised of Barry Snaith from Wakefield, UK and Erika Bach from Ithaca, Greece. Having met each other on Soundcloud, they collaborated on the track "Bleed Through", hitting the alt rock chart on that platform after the first day.
Erika Bach (a.k.a. Lola Demo) comes from a more garage rock background with some electronic influences. Her haunting voice and edgy trash ethic sometimes reminds us of a less hopeful Patti Smith. Barry Snaith (a.k.a. The Inconsistent Jukebox) moves effortlessly between genres, his productions encompassing everything from acerbic alt-pop and industrial soundscapes to French cabaret and dubstep.
For these two, writing together was instantly a natural and organic process, each adding what they felt at the time of writing. Sometimes structured and sometimes completely abstract, vocally and sonically.
For the Single "The Far Side", Erika Bach wrote the lyrics and melody first. "This is a song of yearning, waiting and disappointment", says Erika. With no particular sonic or musical structure, Snaith added the soundscape to fit the plaintive mood. Watch the video for "The Far Side" in the player below. Link
