Song(s) of the Day # 2,446 Mint Field

 

Yesterday marked the release of the new Idles album, largely expected to catapult them to the major leagues. I only made it through a track and a half before switching to this, a far more ethereal option. Sentimento Mundial the second album from Mexicans Mint Field.

It's spectral, atmospheric slightly inconsistent and somewhat atonal. Not a record that I fell in love with but certainly interesting and vastly preferable in my book to being pummeled by Ultra Mono.
