"Is it possible to put this night to tune?” The question is
posed in Minus the Bear’s song, “Pachuca Sunrise,” and, based on their mastery
of poetic prog-rock, the answer is yes. The Seattle indie group’s expansive
sound is encapsulated in unique time signatures, two-handed guitar tapping and
playful lyrics from singer Jake Snider.
The math-rock quintet will be performing MTB staples along with songs from the May 2010 album OMNI, produced by Joe Chiccarelli (the Shins, My Morning Jacket). The OMNI songs further explore their unique style with Dave Knudson’s new experiments on baritone guitar and keyboardist Alex Rose’s vintage Omnichord synthesizer, on which he adds multiple layers and electronic tinges to drummer Erin Tate’s and bassist Cory Murchy’s pounding rhythms.

SUPER STOKED for MTB! I don't think I could eer stop loving this band. Been listening to this band for a year and every CD is full of b-side gems I can't get enough of. OMNI was a bold new statement for them and they pulled it off in my book. A little different sound, but I guess that's what happens to bands when they gain mainstream popularity and devote their lives to the music.
