Meno Forms E.P. Review By Gareth Dorrian South London News
The Mill Meno Forms ep
AMONG the hundreds of records I listen to annually there is little room for unsigned hopeful hit-makers.
That was until a ninja somersaulted through my open window and left this delicious six-track of delights, next to a hamper-sized tin of Quality Street.
Belfast fivepiece The Mill make the kind of noise usually only available in high-security acoustic bunkers manned by disgruntled 60s psychedelic artists with handlebar moustaches and frightening laughs. Okay, the production's a bit pants and it sometimes sounds like they're jostling for space in a mobile shop, but this is only the beginning, folks.
Highlights include the Aldous Huxleyesque rumbling of Perfect Isolation and the quite nice Own. The former goes on forever and the drumming's a little uncertain in places, but overall it's a tasty morsel informed by all of Manchester's talent, including Mark E. Smith, John Squire and Bernard Sumner. A bit of money and time in the studio is all these guys need to make something timeless.
