Cherry Red Records Plastic Ekphrastic

Imagine an electro pop outfit who hail from Paris and Dublin and cite
as their influences Talking Heads, Pixies, Syd Barrett, Kraftwerk,
Gainsbourg, The Beach Boys and Béla Bartók. That’s the vision behind
Mineral – alias Craig Walker, Thierry Fournié, S. Armelle and Damien Li.
Walker made his name in Irish indie rockers Power Of Dreams and then
trip-hop act Archive, who were huge in France. With Mineral, Craig
teamed up in 2012 with three of the finest musicians in Paris to create a
widescreen musical canvas in keeping with the best in French music
(Air, Daft Punk) while hinting at soundscapes from around the globe.
They’ve even recorded a telling cover of My Bloody Valentine’s ‘When You
Sleep’.

Mineral are indietronica explorers hailing from Paris and Dublin, influenced by everything from Talking Heads, The Pixies, Syd Barrett and Kraftwerk to Gainsbourg, The Beach Boys and Béla Bartók.
Member Craig Walker made his name in Irish indie rockers Power Of Dreams and then trip-hop act Archive, who enjoyed success throughout Europe.
