Mineral - Might as Well Be Here

The complete Crank!-era recordings of seminal Texas not emo quartet Mineral are here. Gathered across three LPs are replicas of 1996's The Power of Failing, swan song sophomore effort EndSerenading, plus... And What Remains-a new collection of singles and demos. Nina Corcoran's in-depth notes untangle the complicated history of second wave's avoidant middle brother, all illustrated by dozens of period photographs, flyers, and lyrics in eye-scorching color. Testify.
