Mind Spiders - Prosthesis

by Dirtnap Records

supported by

Saulo Jacques It's hard to find out a favorite track in this album! Maybe the best Mind Spiders' record so far...
And it's impressive how Mark Ryan can surprise us with amazing Punk songs and strong influence of Krautrock. Favorite track: No Filter.

Jordan This album reminds me of so many bands I love, but without ever sounding like they are copying anyone else. Awesome record. Favorite track: Nothing Without It.

about

Fourth album in 5 years from Mark Ryan’s shadowy, shape-shifting “solo” band.
Based in Ft. Worth, TX, Mind Spider’s launched pretty much immediately after Mark’s last project, the well-loved, highly-influential Marked Men went on indefinite hiatus at the beginning of 2009. (and Dirtnap Records agreed to put out their debut 7” and LP before even hearing the band!)
Earliest recordings were Mark playing more-or-less everything (except drums on some tracks), but since then the Mind Spiders lineup has been continually evolving, with Mark remaining the sole songwriter and constant member.
On this album, the lineup is Mark Ryan (Marked Men, Radioactivity, High Tension Wires, etc), Daniel Fried (Bad Sports, Radioactivity, Video, High Tension Wires, etc), Mike Throneberry (Marked Men) and Peter Salisbury (Baptist Generals/Sub Pop Records). Currently, the live band is a guitar-keyboard/drum 3 piece featuring Mark, Mike and Peter.

Each Mind Spiders album has been different from the last. With that said, Prosthesis is probably a bit less of a stylistic departure from their last album (Inhumanistic, 2013) than from previous work. The album clocks in at a brief 8 tracks, however the songs tend to run a little longer than normal, really giving the individual songs room to breathe and grow.
Keyboard and guitar blend seamlessly into ominous, bleak (yet somehow still super catchy!) dark pop explorations, also incorporating postpunk, bedroom pop, krautrock, and tons of other obscure references along the way.
The first Mind Spiders album to be recorded at Mark and Jeff Burke’s (Radioactivity, Marked Men) new Cool Devices studio in Ft. Worth, this is easily their best, fullest sounding effort yet!

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!! dabeave666

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself. Josh Steichmann
