In 2020, Kenneth Minor entered the studio developing the freshly pressed LP they have titled “Retirement”. To be released on vinyl & CD in the summer of 2022 by Unique Records/The Orchard. With two EPs released in the interim and three fully produced music videos available on various chan-nels, Kenneth Minor must be playing to their humor when they talk of Retirement. Four new titles and two more videos to come, as a collection, Retirement reveals Kenneth Minor’s dynamic range. They pull directly from their deep reservoir of influences for the thrill of the ride. Four new songs Personal stories woven together with a glint in his eye. Sardonic viewpoints layered over symphonic arrangements. Chicken pi-cking Rolling Stones scratch telecaster, and tremolo guitars alie-nating their punky, whipped rhythms. It’s a two minute hymnal and your hands clapping along in Blur-esque minimalism. There’s an organic feel to the whole record and just like they did it holed up in the same room for days, it’s not their musici-anship alone which keeps them producing with refined, famliar clarity. Doubling down on the family in-house vibe, on Retirement, Kenneth Minor drummer Florian Helleken takes on the production role. Recorded in its entirety in his Hersbruck Hersbrooklyn Recordings Studios. Retirement was mixed by Hannes Plattmeier at Ashfield Street Studios, London and finally mastered by Hans Wagner, SolidArt Mastering, Vienna.
