New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ypsilanti, MI's loud & fuzzy indie-rock trio, minihorse is debuting a new video for their track "Thriller." The clip, directed by front man Ben Collins, is streaming here after premiering earlier today on Noisey Brazil.
In describing the video, the band writes: "The Chauffeur is preparing for another night of work. He's got a number of pickups to make. A woman got burned in a house fire, so she'll need a pickup. A man is drinking himself to death at the bar, so he'll need a pickup too. Everyone gets picked up eventually. But some jobs are harder than others."
Fresh off a recent sold-out supporting stint with
Grandaddy at San Francisco's Noise Pop, and a series of buzzed-about appearances at last week's SXSW, minihorse is scheduled to play a set of shows during this weekend's Treefort
Music Festival in Boise, ID. See dates below.

What others are saying about minihorse:
"...fuzzy and warm like your oldest, best-loved sweater." - Brooklyn Vegan
"It feels like something of misgiving that Minihorse's 'Big Lack' EP is the band's debut release, for so much of it feels the re-arrival of your favourite band. Like a sucker-punch to the gut, the trio's darkened power-pop feels resolutely personable and amenable..."- Gold Flake Paint
"The stereo plays something that sounds like Clouds Taste Metallic but perhaps performed by Teenage
Fanclub instead of The Flaming Lips; that's minihorse, that is. A band that specialises in scuzzy power pop, the Michigan trio somehow manage to do this while instilling a fuzzy, warm glow inside your soul. Slacker pop meets shoegaze and it never felt so good."- God Is In The TV
"There's No 'Big Lack' of Hooks on Minihorse's New EP"- Clrvynt
minihorse is:
Ben Collins (vocals, guitar), Christian Anderson (bass), John Fossum (drums)
