The People Between is a basement collective who get trippy on "I Want Nothing (Ten Moons of Pluto)

"

A man behind a mask can be his true self. Someone said that (or something similar) before and it makes sense. Put a spaceman helmet on and that might even be doubly true. The People Between are a sort of basement collective based out of Saint Paul, Minnesota and at it's core is Jim McGuinn Slusarek (Saint Small, BNLX, Cordalene) and Manic Pop Thrill Records. The songs are a mish mash of styles and genres from bedroom pop, shoegaze, krautrock, britpop, psych, garage and more. Some are admitted demos. No worries, I love demos and you should too. Sometimes they are the very essence of a song that gets fucked up through different versions and generations. The track I Want Nothing (Ten Moons of Pluto) is a Ramones length of whimsical, psyche pop with jangly proto punk sounds.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Saint Paul, Minnesota basement collective built around Jim McGuinn Slusarek (Saint Small, BNLX, Cordalene) and Manic Pop Thrill Records. Sometimes solo, sometimes not, the songs approach from a variety of directions - bedroom and indie pop, shoegaze, krautrock, britpop, psych, garage, jangle, lo-fi. Some sound like demos because they are (were?), originally intended for one of Jim's bands. Others are experiments and failures, but fascinating just the same. Covers, originals, one-off supergroups - it's all there, and now it's here too.
