MINUS STORY

MY ION TRUSS

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.
