Twin Cities experimental rock pioneer Michael Yonkers has died:https://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2026/04/30/twin-cities-experimental-rock-pioneer-michael-yonkers-has-died>Groundbreaking Twin Cities musician, dancer, electrician, and performer Michael Yonkers has died at the age of 78. A prolific artist who began producing music as a teenager, Yonkers came painfully close early on to a big break with Sire Records. In the early aughts, collectors rediscovered his work, and several of his albums have been reissued. A record titled Microminiature Love, which Sire Records had considered putting out in the late ‘60s, was released in the early aughts to critical acclaim.>Yonkers died due to complications related to cancer, a recent fall, and blood clots in his lungs on Monday, April 20, at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. According to his long-time partner Helen Voelker, he had been in and out of hospitals and transitional care for the past few months.Big F for me personally
so how is Microminiature Love whats it sound like?
>>130164224it's a really cool little album, it's psych garage rock but with weird tunings, so it kinda sounds like Sonic Youth but recorded almost 2 decades earlier
RIP
