Key To The Mint

"Knowledge is the key and KTTM have really stumbled upon something with "A Godless Line." If it's sophisticated angst set to a cold melodic beat in a post-modern world you're after look no further. Sure to give you the chills this December. "-BHD WOG

About

"We are Key to the Mint, from Cleveland, Ohio. Our second record, A Godless Line, channels the post-industrial anxiety and malaise of the 80s underground and updates it for today’s zeitgeist. If you like Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy, the Cure, the Smiths, and the like, you will find a lot to like here.

Key to the Mint formed in early 2015, out of the defunct Cleveland shoegaze- noise band Privacy//Policy. Starting with P//P’s final single “Observation,” Rich Kundracik and John Alexander began taking their previous band’s post-punk leanings in a more melodic, accessible direction, making greater use of synthesizer and keyboard textures.

A lineup for this new group solidified with the additions of vocalist Joel Anger and guitarist Justin Romank. Released their first record, Polynesian Dreams, in September 2015 as they began playing local shows. After a tumultuous year in 2016 and the departure of Romanak,

Key to the Mint regrouped to begin their second album A Godless Line. Released on December 1st 2017, A Godless Line brings a harder edged sound that captures the post-industrial anxiety and malaise of the 80s underground. With guitarist Connor Simpson from Cleveland post-rock act ITEM, Key to the Mint plans to tour the US."

"I can only compare them to OMD. I have already listened to this album a half dozen times."

"Heavenly synth."
