minihorse is the extraterrestrial shoegaze project of Ypsilanti, MI scene staple Ben Collins. The 32-year-old has produced and engineered records for Stef Chura, Fred Thomas, Bonny Doon, and others, but his own band has more in common with indie royalty; the brittle hooks of Elliott Smith, the dynamic progressions of Grandaddy, and the textural girth of My Bloody Valentine.

Press Quotes
Collins' songs are incredibly well-produced and meticulously performed, with tons of space in the mix for distorted guitar leads and gravelly basslines to float alongside one another like stardust.
—The Alternative, The Alternative
'Summer Itch,' grabs your attention and refuses to ever really let go. A delicate indie-rock track that develops into a loud, roaring monster.
—SHAAD D'SOUZA, The Fader
(minihorse) created a marvel of a track: catchy as hell, introspective enough to provoke existential thought, yet somehow calming all at the same time.
—Keely Quinlan, Stereogum
Fuzz pedals and sticky drums grant Collins' vocals full permission to bleed and disperse against the nostalgic haze that sounds totally Detroit.
—Metro Detroit, Metro Detroit
Drink You Dry' is a brilliantly coarse number, with a generous spreading of messy distortion and crunchy guitar licks that soundtrack the singer's contentment with his drinking habits.
—Nad Khan, God is in the TV
the trio's darkened power-pop feels resolutely personable and amenable, and nowhere more so than on the brilliantly scuzzy dirge of 'Drink You Dry'
—Tom Johnson, Goldflake Paint
