A Minor Forest
A Minor Forest challenged conventions of the late nineties underground by employing odd time signatures and unusual song titles. The music replaces standard melodies with weaving guitar patterns that function like a puzzle.
Emerging during the peak of the math-rock and post-rock movement, these tracks document the technical output of the San Francisco scene. The production effectively manages the contrast between harsh, jagged noise and moments of quiet, calculated pressure.
