“Minimal; a Miami indie Latin rock band, that's making its own way with an evolving sound.”  Break thru Radio on Minimal

The four-piece, Miami-based band Minimal defines what is powerful and relevant about Latin-Alternative music being made in the United States today; call it indie rock, call it alternative, call it brilliant. Minimal’s music flirts with the electronic, incorporates English and Spanish lyrics, and is pumped with a healthy dose of tropical energy.

Minimal’s third studio release Antibalas Corazon showcases the band’s dynamic and sensual sound. Antibalas Corazon incorporates fast paced tempos and a wide variety of textures by using synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, and traditional indie-rock elements that further characterize Minimal’s sound. Produced by Minimal, the album, dropping March 2012, contains six tracks mixed by multiple Grammy® Award winner Sebastian Krys

Desde la ciudad de Miami, Minimal define lo que es relevante y poderoso en la música Alter-Latina en los Estados Unidos. Llámese Indie, llámese alternativo, llámese brillante; el sonido de Minimal coquetea con la electrónica, incorpora letras en español e inglés, y está cargado de una dosis saludable de energía tropical.

Antibalas Corazón es el tercer álbum de Minimal y demuestra el sonido dinámico y sensual de la agrupación. El album incorpora ritmos rápidos y una variedad de texturas a través del uso de secuencias, sintetizadores, y los elementos tradicionales de indie-rock que han caracterizado el sonido de la agrupación. Programado para ser lanzado en Marzo del 2012, Antibalas Corazón fue producido por Minimal y contiene seis temas mesclados por Sebastián Krys, ganador del premio Grammy® en múltiples ocasiones.

 "The work that Minimal has been doing for the past couple of years opens a door to a more evolved Latin alternative sound made in Miami with no borders."
~ Toto Gonzalez | Fabrikalink.com

“Ready for something completely nuevo? 'Cause I doubt you've heard anything like Minimal. The Spanish-singing Miami band fuses acoustic guitars, electronic sounds and massive drum escapades into charging, near-epic brews that call to mind bands like Gomez and Muse.”
~ Jason Harper | The Pitch, Kansas City

“Minimal; a Miami indie Latin rock band, that's making its own way with an evolving sound.”
~ DJ Don Jose | Break Thru Radio
 
"As the era of decadence winds down, pop rockers Minimal have also chosen to stay true to their name and embrace a simpler path. These ever evolving Spanish language musicians hope to take us along for the ride as they explore innovative ambient reverberations"
~ Rayme Samuels | Miami.com

"Minimal: You should pronounce this mee-nee-MAL, because this quintet sings en español. However, like many of their local scene peers these days, they take a page from the electro-tinged Anglo book. Think lots of hushed, pensive vocals over tinkling, Radiohead-Kid-A-type beats. This will go down like the tastiest bittersweet candy for fans of wallflower-angst electropop acts such as The Postal Service, The Notwist, Lali Puna, and so on."
~ Arielle Castillo | Miami New Times
 
“Minimal is fresh off the release of their sophomore studio production Hermoso Caos (Lovely Chaos), an effort featuring slick and at times surreal tracks jammed with rock and alternative and streamlined with electronic "flirtations." They've stepped up their game from 2006 debut Fotos, Cartas y un Puñal (Pictures, Letters and a Dagger), and that's saying a lot. If you haven't seen them live yet, here's your chance to see some of the best Latin rock SoFla has to offer.”
~ Christopher Lopez | Miami New Times
