Mineral - Might As Well Be Here Mineral
Indies Exclusive Palisade Green Vinyl 3LP Boxset.
The complete Crank!-era recordings of seminal Texas not-emo quartet Mineral are here. Gathered across three LPs are replicas of 1996’s The Power of Failing, swan-song sophomore effort EndSerenading, plus …And What Remains—a new collection of singles and demos.
Nina Corcoran’s in-depth notes untangle the complicated history of second wave’s avoidant middle brother, all illustrated by dozens of period photographs, flyers, and lyrics in eye-scorching colour. Testify.
