The Peppermints

Hello. This is actually my second mp3 blog, the first being the ill-fated Temp3. I hope that this one last longer.

The Peppermints are a spazzy noise rock band made up of three beautiful women and a dude. They are also super-duper-nice people. I know the later because I saw them play a couple of days ago and they stayed at my house. See the following livejournal entry for details/pictures:

Their second album, Jesüs Chryst came out this past week on Paw Tracks Records, which is run by the Animal Collective. It's pretty fantastic, and jumps all over the out-rock map. The only constant is the mix of the cute and the foul (think a unicorn farting) that they do so well.

The Peppermints - A. Hotel
The Peppermints - Onion Salad
On the first track, they sound a little bit like the Fall, if Mark E. Smith was female and the whole band had A.D.D. The second track is kind of a nonesensical shaggy dog story, with Deerhoof-esque accompaniment.
