Release Notes:
--------
Minky Starshine hovers just above the sweetest sounds of the pop-rock
soundscape. This band is much more than four pretty faces who write sugar pop
melodies mixed with the 70's-inspired, am radio rock they grew up on. These
dashing gentlemen have taken sticky sweet rock and roll and turned it into a
daily anthem for the soul. In 2006, their majestic pop anthems shot
heart-shaped arrows straight from their hips into the hearts of their audiences.
They spent the year supporting their debut release, "Hooray for L.A.", which was
produced and engineered by Ken Stringfellow (Posies, R.E.M., Big Star).
Their sophomore release is the album they've been long threatening to record: a
towering mountain of melody and pop production that was both lament and
celebration - and is as infectious as listening to a box of old 8-tracks in your
Uncle Don's basement. The refined studio line-up features Mike Musburger
(Posies, Fastbacks) on drums this time around. Recorded primarily by x-Hot Rod
Circuit Michael Poorman at Strangeways Recording in Providence, R.I., Minky also
teamed up with pal Ken Stringfellow (Posies, Big Star) in Paris, France at Le
Domicile Studio, and with Chris Manning (Jellyfish, Guster) out at Salamander
Sound in sunny California.
