Minko is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist living in Cornwall. In her garret by the sea, surrounded by a plethora of acoustic instruments, she vanishes for periods of time and writes and records. Her haunting melodies and weaving bass lines wind themselves around peeling glockenspiels, ukuleles, flutes, and subtle rumba rhythms. All tied together with Minko's distinctive voice.  All with a low-fi recording sensibility that harks back to bands such as The Young Marble Giants. 

Before this she had a period of producing electronic tunes, including some remixes for Rephlex artist Global Goon. But she decided to leave behind the samplers and synthesisers, move to Cornwall, and immerse herself in an acoustic sound; rewinding to core childhood influences – French pop, post punk, 1960s psych folk.

Minko also still works periodically with Rephlex/Planet Mu artist Global Goon, recently providing vocals for his avant grade brain dance albums Quonk and Plastic Orchestra.

“This is a lovely jewel of an EP from beginning to end. Minko has clearly soaked up her surroundings, and knows how to pour them back into her music..
“For Folk’s Sake review of ‘Songs 1-4 Sybil of Delphi’.

“Minko is obsessed with “amalgamating sounds”, setting a clear, insouciant voice against cool, softly-layered backdrops of multiple instruments.. and her arrangements show a subtle experimental bent reminiscent of Julia Holter, Gainsbourg and Andrew Bird.”
For Folk’s Sake, New Bands Panel.

“With her captivating voice and obvious skill at combining instruments to compliment her desired theme, Minko has brought us a mesmerising record.”
Aurally Yours on ‘Songs 5-8 Creature’.

“‘Songs 1-4 Sybil of Delphi’ – a beautiful thing it is for Minko blends French chanteuse pop through a myriad of dream woven soft psych centred folk mirages, wistfully pastoral and lightly crushed with a becoming sensitivity that’s lilts with a distinctly alluring faraway framing which to these ears at least fixes like a spectral Serge meets Komeda cutie.”
Mark Barton, God is in the TV (former editor of the legendary ‘Losing Today’).

“Minko’s music draws its inspiration from a diversity of musical idioms but it is unique in the way it always finds the gaps between the genres, constantly steering off the grid.”  Nick Duffy (The The Lilac Time).
