M.I.J. take the time-honored route of honing their skills before
unleashing their sound on the world. Forming in 1994, instead of getting
together for a few shows and practices and rushing out their demo or,
even worse, full-length, the band spent time working out their material
before it felt right. And, on their debut full-length ("The Radio
Goodnight") it feels right as the band jumps around from full-on rock
attacks to methodical pools of emotions.
With a gentle warmth like spring rain, m.i.j. cranks out a sound
mixing the more ethereal melodies of indie pop with emo's tendency for
driving arrangements, resulting in a sound straddling the fence between
the two genres. Not as contemplative nor personal as typical Midwestern
emo, though featuring more texture than the oft-fuzzy melodies of pop,
their albums find a balance between soft-focus melodies and
punk-descended rhythms. - last.fm
