minxy soul models is sound and they are beat.based in gothenburg, sweden, somewhere down the early years of the new millenium, minxy soul models set out to be something completely different from the start. but they never meant to be avantgarde, cause then you can't dance to it. and they all love to dance. instead, this is a new take on pop.the members of minxy all grew up in gothenburg, the harbour everyone reaches eventually. and three of them used to play together as kids. stefan larsson, peter modestij and christoffer lärkner were all about the same age, so they played with each other in kindergarten. a fourth kid, simon la mont, wanted to play with them as well, but they wouldn't let him. he was six years younger than they were, so they would throw sand or stones at him to keep him away, sometimes even beat him up.but fifteen years or so later, they realized simon la mont could actually play the drums, just as they were trying out drummers for their band. in fact, he was perfect, partly because of his background as a mod/soul dj. all of a sudden simon was cool. so they immediately tried to recruit him, but he was still bitter about the blows he took when they were kids. the members of minxy begged on their knees for him to forgive them, and after he had a go at beating each one of them as hard as he could, he finally accepted.so, minxy soul models is now the beatings of simon la mont, the whipping harmonies of christoffer lärkner and stefan larsson, and the sometimes cocky and sometimes begging voice of peter modestij. minxy soul models is sound and they are beat. it's the bridge that didn't exist between shoegaze and soul, it's organic electronica if you wish. minxy soul models is transparent, yeah.
