MIDI Funk

Inspired by the distinctive floating sandwich artwork of the Big Apple’s bodegas, the desire to create an updated version of the old timey sampler and our grumbling stomachs (it was almost lunchtime), we asked our current Minties—who call Vancouver, Halifax, and anywhere in between home—to share their favourite songs with us. After that, they nominated their friends to contribute tracks. Together they share the back pages of this here J-card on the first cassette Mint Records has released since Pansy Division’s Wish I’d Taken Pictures in 1996!

With plenty of flavours from across the country to choose, we let our roster be the tastemakers and picked up some savoury sounds in the process from Tough Age, Renny Wilson, Monomyth, Jay Arner, Kellarissa, Pick A Piper, and more! Many of these songs are previously unreleased and all are delicious! Photographed and coordinated by our transcontinental label manager, Shena Yoshida, and mastered by our very own Jay Arner, Hot Heros is a sonic smorgasbord for your aural appetite.

Heaven For Real - Hard Done By

born brothers bothers 
birth masks death passive aggressive 
sew stitch patch fix 
but all red already worn 

out try we try we find 
it so why is it so 
hard to be to say 
to play to be in a room. 

oh my god 
oh my god 
oh my god 
born rot 
birthed old 

grow up spring 
has come again 
stuck stuck in a 
loop fear what 

can we make 
us four what can we design 
it’s a sign a 
weed grows 

fast faster than our 
crop cropped out 
of the sketch 
split in into quarters 

oh my god 
oh my god 
oh my god 
born rot 
birthed old 


start again, 
do better 
something could happen, 
it almost worked before, 
we just have to try harder 
we can make it work, 
it almost worked before, 
double up our efforts, 
the cycle has ended, 
it almost worked before, 
we just have to try harder 
start again
