Motion Picture

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Formed in 1992, the plaintive and contemplative songs of Minneapolis' Motion Picture calls to mind the lush fragility of Belle & Sebastian, the lovelorn lyricism of Trembling Blue Stars, and the sophisticated melodic stamp of early Felt. The heart-wrenching music merges guitar and cello melodies into arrangements that are at once idyllic in essence and elaborate in structure.
