A Minor Forest, an American post-rock/math rock band, carved their niche in the mid-90s with a complex, instrumental sound that defies easy categorization. Hailing from San Francisco, California, the band was formed in 1992 by guitarist/vocalist Erik Hoversten, drummer Andee Connors, and bassist John Trevor Benson. Known for their intricate, and often dissonant arrangements, A Minor Forest gained a reputation within the indie rock scene for their intense live performances and a cerebral approach to music-making.

A Minor Forest released several records that captured the essence of their unorthodox style, including the critically acclaimed albums "Flemish Altruism" and "Inindependence." Their music is characterized by sudden shifts in tempo, meticulously crafted guitar lines interwoven with complex rhythms, and a penchant for expansive, experimental compositions. Although the band officially disbanded in 1998, their influence persisted, leading to a reunion in 2014 for a series of live shows and the remastered reissue of "Flemish Altruism (Constituent Parts 1993-1996)." With "So, Were They In Some Sort Of Fight?" reinforcing their legacy, A Minor Forest remains an enduring figure in the landscape of avant-garde indie rock, celebrated for their uncompromising artistry and innovative soundscapes.
