The Bliss Point [Vinyl]

The second in a trilogy of Mint Mile 12"s, made here and there with love to preserve and transmit: thought, feeling, impression, memory. Mint Mile is Tim Midyett of Silkworm / Bottomless Pit, joined again by Andrew Cohen of Silkworm, plus members of Songs: Ohia, Tre Orsi and Palliard.

Mint Mile are on an endless search for the optimal conditions of existence. Comfort, companionship, warmth. Gentle insistence. A lack of manufacture. To convince ourselves that we are alive and we make the most of our time. To fail to regret, to avoid the sense on our deathbeds (if we're lucky and have them) that we spent too much time focused on the wrong things. To be not always distracted, not always preoccupied, but if lost to lose ourselves in love and joy. To take in the world raw, as wide and wonderous and ugly and terrific as it is.

So that's what this record is about.
