Mink Mussel Creek - ‘They Dated Steadily'

This is a song recorded three years ago by a band who don’t even play together anymore - but it’s still kind of new, I promise.

Mink Mussel Creek features Tame Impala mastermind Kevin Parker on drums and Pond frontman Nick Allbrook on “vocals etc”. The band were making buzz around Perth in 2007 and 8 with the sort of wonky psychedelic rock that the above mentioned bands got famous with later. In 2011 they recorded an album (Mink Mussel Manticore), but kind of forgot to release it. As you do. Anyway, it’s out now, and the band has been promoting the chaotic 14-minute ‘They Dated Steadily’ as the first single.

Never mind what ‘most bands’ do.
