Press Release:

After three years, nine members and scores of unfinished songs, Miniatures has finally progressed from a lo-fi almost unheard-of bedroom act to a lo-fi, almost unheard-of bedroom act with around five shows under their belt and a shiny new four track EP, albeit one recorded on the cheap over the last twelve months. Originally conceived as a solo project of Christchurch native Ché Walden, the group drifted through various directions and ensembles until a partnership with Dunedinite Annemarie Duff set things properly in motion. Steven Marr later rounded out the group as a bassplayer, while an extensive bank of effect-laden (though personality-devoid) programmed tracks continue to serve in lieu of a drummer.

Awash with sounds and stylings reminiscent of shoegaze and dreampop influences along the lines of Slowdive and the Cocteau Twins, Miniatures self-titled EP is a summation of time spent in-and-out of creative flux, songs assembled from both rapid inspiration and years of diligent tinkering.
