New Music: Mins

Mins is the musical project of Dutch artist Minne Bussemaker. Currently based in Liverpool, this promising talent crafts a unique style of bedroom pop that infuses elements from other genres, like folk, into the mix.

New single ‘MHSFH’ stands for ‘My Homie Straight From Hell’ and presents listeners with a stripped-back yet enticing lo-fi production. Speaking on the song’s inspiration, Mins explains:

“A pretty superficial song to be honest, however very relatable. In the past I’ve found myself chasing lyrical obscurity at all times, but sometimes telling a situation how it is can be just as creative. This is a song about someone who you’re friendly with, that’s throwing away a good thing with someone else just to be with you, while you aren’t ready for that at all. Many such cases across many lives, let’s be real. While, to some, the song may lack gravitas, it does not lack a fun, relatable, and laid-back character that we can all use a dose off every now and then.”

An EP is scheduled for release later this year. In the meantime, you can check out the artist’s previous record, ‘SkinDeep’, here.
