Product Description
"The Minor Thirds are at once utterly serious and utterly playful. The music that supports them is soft and unemphatic, loosely jointed and cooperative, a blend of lo-fi guitar and Elephant 6-style kitchen-sinkery." -- Splendid The Minor Thirds is a band from Portland whose latest album is called Nebraska From Afar. It tells the story of two people who meet up unexpectedly in a pancake house in Omaha, fall in love, and drive off into the night. When morning comes, they're still driving, and as they travel from town to town they soon find themselves plotting each other's destruction. The ending--not to spoil the ending--is problematic but hopeful. The Minor Thirds play a jittery classical guitar, an upright bass, a snare, and a cymbal, adding in whatever they can--accordion, trumpet, theremin, ad hoc gospel choir. Melodies and lyrics get bandied about like water balloons in a fire. They promise it will be fun. Come in from the rain, they say, and have some tea. They promise not to make you cry. They promise.
