Active since the first half of the 2010s, South-Eastern Australia alternative noise rockers Miners based in Wollongong, return with a new single, “Why Can’t I?,” to announce the forthcoming full-length studio album, “A Healthy Future On Earth,” due out on October 28th via Kitty Records (AUS) and Flesh & Bone Records (US).
Purveyors of an equally loud and atmospheric, as well as raw and emotional, guitar-laden sound strongly rooted in classic 90’s Shoegaze, the band has never been shy, since their onset, to incorporate elements of Post-Punk, Jangle/Noise Pop, Indie-Rock, Slacker Rock and Emo.
To the latter draws on the loud/quiet soundscape of the new track, laced with flare-ups of emotive energy and vibrancy, in addition to the introduction, impromptu or not, of childlike chanting vocalizations reminiscent of the “blackgaze” one-man band Sadness.
“Why Can’t I?” is about a confused person who struggles to find time for a friend because, in their personal life, they keep getting stuck and falling down.
High detached, resonant children’s choir-like vocals ramble restlessly over a vibrant carpet of syncopated drumming, snaky humming basslines, and tinny bright strummed riffs, interpolate and drown by distortion-heavy rackety bursts of fuzzed-out angst.
