Personnel: Jake Snider (vocals, guitar); Alex Rose (vocals, keyboards); David Knudson (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Kiefer Matthias (drums, percussion); Sam Bell (programming). Audio Mixer: Sam Bell. Recording information: Avast! Recording Co.; Hall of Justice; Studio Litho. The Seattle-based indie rockers' sixth full-length, and their first outing since the departure of longtime kit man Erin Tate, Voids arrives three years after Minus the Bear's B-sides and rarities collection, Lost Loves, and five years after their last proper studio LP, Infinity Overhead. New drummer Kiefer Matthias is more than up to the task. The band's penchant for pairing tight, loopy beats and mathy guitar noodling with sinewy verse melodies that reveal big rousing choruses is on display early with the lovelorn opener "Last Kiss," one of several cuts that mines heartache and missed connections for emotional riches. Knotty follow-up "Give & Take" and the propulsive "Robot Heart" lean harder on the band's prog and post-punk tendencies, while the moody "Silver" distills both predilections into one of their most immediate and compelling songs to date. Two of Voids' best offerings, the soulful "Call the Cops" and the atmospheric closer "Lighthouse," flirt with dream pop, but the staccato guitar work and soulful croon of frontman Jake Snider helps to keep things firmly in the recognizable Minus the Bear universe. Despite their five-year absence from the studio, the band still sound like the well-oiled machine that discovered their mojo on their 2006 sophomore outing Menos el Oso. There's a bit more pure pop intention to be found on Voids, but it retains the left-field charm that made them one of the more captivating acts to watch amidst the alt-to-indie rock shift that dominated the late '90s and early 2000s. ~ James Christopher Monger

商品の紹介

グランジ・ブーム以降のシアトル・シーンを支え続け、ここ日本へも過去3度来日し、根強い人気を誇っているマイナス・ザ・ベアが、約5年ぶりとなる大復活のアルバムをリリース!プロデューサーにはウィーザーやザ・クリブス、ブロック・パーティーを手がけたサム・ベル、マスタリングにはボン・イヴェール、アラバマ・シェイクス、ノラ・ジョーンズを手がけグラミー賞に輝いているグレッグ・カルビを起用!2001年に結成されこれまでに5枚のアルバムをリリースしている彼らだか2015年にドラマーのエリン・テイトが脱退、彼抜きで初めてのリリースとなる今作は初心に戻り全てを白紙にしてから制作を始めたという。アルバムのオープニング・トラック『ラスト・キス』はこの作品で彼らが再びシーンの最前線に帰還したことを告げる情熱あふれる楽曲。バンドの代表曲「「Fine + 2 Pts」」をアップデートしたかのような「Give & Take」もあれば、バンド史上最もキャッチーな「Invisible」、初期のEPに収録されていてもおかしくないようなインディー・ポップ・ソング「Erase」もある。これまでのバンドのキャリアを総括しつつも新鮮、そんなファンにいつまでも愛されるようなそんな作品が誕生した!
発売・販売元 提供資料(2017/03/21)

Alternative Press - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "A renewed sense of purpose exudes from every song, with the abundance of electronics playing nicely with their roiling guitar rock." Paste (magazine) - "'Erase' is up there with such quintessential MTB slow jams as 'White Mystery' and 'This Ain't A Surfin' Movie'....An album that feels inspired by nostalgia but not limited to it..."
