Release Notes:
In the distance the land kisses the sky. If you squint just right you can see
Minus Story in flux there, somewhere between earthbound and ethereal, making
sunspots on the horizon line with their noisy & melodic headphone pop. Reared
together in America's Midwestern cradle, Minus Story speak their own codified
musical language as only childhood friends can share. Tirelessly artistic yet
unpretentious, they are unafraid of abject noise, folk, soul, or straight-up pop
rock.
My Ion Truss is Minus Story's Studio Album. It was recorded at Electrical Audio
in Chicago with John Congleton (Explosions In the Sky, The Polyphonic Spree).
Having a producer behind the controls for the first time allowed them to work
more collectively as a band, giving them the freedom to record the primary
tracks completely live. It is the closest thing to Minus Story's cathartic live
show that they've put to tape to date. The result is an epic & anthemic cross
between Pearl Jam, Queen, Brian Eno, and Roxy Music.
