Since early 2012, Miniatures have been crafting compelling and evocative tunes. New Zealand expatriates Ché Walden and Annemarie Duff craft cinematic and emotive soundscapes, wrapped around warm and welcoming songs. With the addition of Chris MacLean on bass, the band worked with renowned Melbourne producer Matthew Hosking to record their first full LP, exclusive to Saint Marie Records.
Layering rich tones, beautiful textures, cascading melodies and angelic vocals, Miniatures build soundscapes that rise and fall like the ocean tide. Lush guitars wash over you until the wave of sound sweeps you out to sea. While swirling in a reverb riptide and drowning in delay, Annemarie's vocals shine like a beaming light from above.
Sure, you’ll pick up influences here and there: The Sundays, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Smashing Pumpkins, even a hint of Johnny Marr’s guitar adventurism. But ‘Jessamines’ is more than a sum of its influences. Miniatures have been working at careful songcraft for five years, and this is their coming out party. From track to track, Miniatures have crafted an album’s album, a journey through colour and mood, high and low, fuzzy and shiny, light and shade. Allow the waves to take you, and prepare to be swept away.

This is such a gem Thanks for sharing

[@capitalprice]

there is a bit of early Grimes on the album. it surprises

[@heatherb1587]

Grimes was a mere tween when this came out? Or well, playing Vanessa & NOT making babies w billionaire bitch boy

[@2012gallina]

Early Grimes isn't a thing. Early 90's Cocteau etc certainly is ...but Grimes.....nope....

[@heatherb1587]

M deserve to shine amongst all shoegaze greats, truly this is Lush, Catherine Wheel, MBV, Slowdive, All Natural Lemon Lime & Flavors~ if u haven't heard of them all, consider yourself blessed by my taste

[@paulocesar658]

if the Cocteau Twins and Slowdive had a child, this would be it! by the way, TO THE LAKE sounds very much like SUGAR HICUP! beautiful!!!!!

[@albonforbes]

[@gottalight3574]

Form Into Soft And Wild is the best

[@josephsmall4270]

Nice songs. Sounds like a long lost Cocteau Twins album.

[@vrbixby]

Sure it's good, but Cocteau Twins wants credit.

[@heatherb1587]

Good? U say good? Oh darling, that word just won't suffice here when on an auditory trip, delightful, entrancing, just pure bliss!
