“Mid-Seral is putting out a debut album, Rising Highways, full of Midwestern Americana observations and road trip vibes. Listen to take a little break from the world-focus on Minneapolis and know that these guys are fighting the good fight with us. But we all need a replenishing break to prepare for tomorrow!” - Ann Treacy
Way upriver from Baton Rouge, Southern drawl found a Midwest backbeat in Minneapolis. Put together something country-tinged, but city-leaning.
The debut EP, Rising Highways, showcases Mid-Seral's scrappy alt-country, smoothed out with signature mandolin + pedal steel sounds.
Mid-seral refers to a phase of ecological succession much like our lives and music. The growth has gotten a little more complex, not so even-aged. There's a mix of density and openness, dynamics and stability. And the succession continues on, gradually, until the next big disturbance.
