Minibeast

Minibeast is a 3-piece band comprised of Peter Prescott (formerly Mission of Burma, Volcano Suns, Kustomized) playing guitar, keys, noises (mouth &other) & the mind bending rhythm section of Keith Seidel on drums n' percussion & Niels LaWhite on bass. A sturdy endless grooves percolatin' then plaster chanting & state altering instrumental tweaks on top &see what happens. "On Ice is an unpredictable sonic swirl that evokes peak-level krautrock like Amon Duul II more than any algorithmic post-rock. Out of the gate, it’s apparent that Minibeast isn’t afraid to flex its technical proficiency, a refreshing move in an underground scene that can be guilty of confusing coy ineptitude with egalitarian inclusion. On Ice & Minibeast in total, are a logical outgrowth of Prescott’s pedigree and his ongoing attempts at luring cogent weirdness out of the art wilderness. …The title track ...is an impressive volley of syncopated rhythm-section wallop, slices of processed guitar & keyboard stabs & spoken-word leaning vocal delivery.” -Dan Brown, NPR "On Ice would serve as the perfect soundtrack for slamming into a brick wall.” - Pop Matters (John Garratt) "...move it does, from down ‘n’ dirty punkola to tribal funk to futuristic synth tracks, the magnificent rhythm section locking into a groove while other instruments (including sax on a few songs) launch into what sounds like improvised jams. On Ice is a record to be savored, not gobbled in small bits." - Jim Testa, Off Shelf, Best of 2022
