User Album Review
While many might not think of Minus The Bear as an inherently “sexy” band, they’re usually good for a handful of powerful slow jams per album. VOIDS doesn’t quite hit that mark, but “Erase” is up there with such quintessential MTB slow jams as “White Mystery” and “This Ain’t A Surfin’ Movie.” Knudson works wonders with his pedalboard, triggering all sorts of glitchy guitar loops while Snider continues to coax gorgeous sounds out of both his guitar and his falsetto vocals, gently cooing, “I never thought I’d feel so removed from you.”
VOIDS doesn’t solely have the raw, drunken emotion of Highly Refined Pirates, the instant catchiness of Menos El Oso or the warm prog vibes of Planet Of Ice — it has bits of all three, resulting in an album that feels inspired by nostalgia but not limited to it, which bodes well for wherever Minus The Bear decides to go next. Hopefully it won’t take them another half-decade to figure it out. ---pastemagazine.com
