about

“With AUM, MINOTAURS remind us how political empowerment and a deep sense of personal joy are not mutually exclusive. The stirring beats, horns, textures, and wordplay here aim for hearts and minds but also laser beams for the feet to get our bodies hopping to the rhythms of possibility. AUM rallies anyone with high definition vision to keep their eyes sharp in a low resolution world.” – Vish Khanna

MINOTAURS Guelph, Ontario

Minotaurs are a nine-piece band blending the churning funk rhythms of Fela-Kuti-style Afrobeat and the deliberate songcraft of indie rock. The dynamic rhythm section is complemented by massive billows from the horn section; it’s a dance party, but a smart one where Lawr’s thoughtful, impassioned lyrics don’t take a back seat to the funk. ... more
