This album makes me want to cuddle up with a plushie, drink cocoa, and employ a set of intricately designed quirks to hide my inner pain and turmoil.

I feel very sorry for people who believe Moms is better than this modern near-masterpiece. Mines is expansive, unique and has the one main, devastating factor Moms brilliant songwriting can't compensate for: soul.

I'm almost positive that if you give "Lunchmeat" a try you will surely be interested in what Mines has to offer.

4.5 superbCaelTaylor | May 31st 10

What a wonderful album! The music, the lyrics, the feel, it is all so refreshing! I have not been able to stop listening to Tithe from this album especially. They step up with distinction from a genre that can sometimes begin to sound like a musical melting pot. (Which can and does happen with any genre.)

Mines is a game-changer, an unassuming sleeper indie record that hits you more with each subsequent listen. It's the sort that pops up just when you've 'selected' your album-of-the-year and forces you to admit, "Hot damn, well...maybe this won't trump The National, but it's a healthy reminder that great music is always around the corner."
