Minotaurs
What do you get when you combine ex-Rheostatic and current Ron Sexsmith drummer/producer Don Kerr, with Holy Fuck and King Cobb Steelie bassist Kevin Lynn, Feuermusik, Canaille and go-to indie-rock-session saxophonist Jeremy Strachan, guitar duelling brother tandem of Dan and Ryan Levecque, and indie-songwriter Nathan Lawr? Answer: MINOTAURS.
Inspired heavily by the work of legendary Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, MINOTAURS take the funky, slinky backbone of afrobeat and apply it to the indie-rock-folk songs of Nathan Lawr. Its propulsive rhythms and syncopated horn arrangements are catchy, inspiring, and mind-boggling funky all at once.
With their new record, “The Thing” MINOTAURS offer an ambitious and captivating sound. It is truly a new strain in the Canadian indie-rock genealogy. Part funk, part psychedelic, part protest record...
