Minutemen - Project: Mersh EP vinyl record

Brand new, still sealed.

Project: Mersh is the final extended play by American punk rock trio Minutemen, released on April 8, 1985, through SST Records. Project: Mersh was a sarcastic and ironic attempt at a commercial (or "mersh") recording rather than their "econo" method. Though, as bassist Mike Watt pointed out in a 1985 Bard College interview, "It's only mersh because we said it was mersh, it only sold about half as much as our art record Double Nickels on the Dime." All six songs surpass the two-minute mark ("More Spiel" is nearly six minutes long) and incorporate verses, choruses, hooks, and fade-outs, in contrast to nearly all the band's previous recordings. The album even utilizes a synthesizer, which was played by Ethan James who produced their previous album Double Nickels on the Dime.
