​Mink’s Miracle Medicine (from the album Thumbs Up Angel available on WarHen Records)
Life is spinning like a Ferris wheel when Mink’s Miracle Medicine find themselves 
“At the Fair” on the opening track from their recent release, Thumps up Angel. The Harpers Ferry, West Virginia band make a mantra of the cut’s exit line ‘omens, send me signs’ as they use the effervescent buzz of the rhythms to kick down the doors and raise the bar for Thumbs up Angel. Much like the life they sing of in the songs, the stories land at different points on the emotional scale as Mink’s Miracle Medicine examine the human condition. A melodic dreamscape finds a heartbeat thump as the melody cascades around the story of “Beautiful Losers” while a Country backbeat shuffles underneath “How to Become a Writer” and the revolving rhythms of “Earning My Reckoning” curl around the equally circling thoughts inside the collective head of Mink’s Miracle Medicine. 
 
The fear that Mink’s Miracle Medicine sing of on Thumbs up Angel became a constant for the band as they faced decisions about their album release, tour plans, and future life as working musicians. Mink forged ahead with the release, facing the unknown and offering the words and music of Thumbs up Angel as a balm for others waking to the same unease. A scratchy rhythm carries a tale of leaving along into “Boat Landing” before the beat pounds the message home while “Proper Cinderella” asks what is important and a request is made for one simple act in “Watching the Horses Run”.
