Konserva is the debut album of the Athens-based garage/post-punk rockers Μινέρβα (Minerva). After their first EP "Βέλβετ/Mama Shoe", Konserva comes in light to complete a journey that started years ago in the tropical city of Korinthos by 3 childhood friends (Jim, Dennis, George) who started playing music in school, with the addition of the 4th one on the road (Spilios). Konserva (Κονσέρβα in greek, which means tin can) indicates the city of Athens, and everything that it is included in its daily basis, like depression, anger, dirt, psychedelia as well as happiness and the need to party and feel loved. All the above are expressed in this album through up tempo beats, punchy bass lines, extremely reverberated rhythm guitars and fuzzy riffs as well as distorted and echoed vocals, with the catalytic touch and knowledge of producer Alex Bolpasis (The Steams, Whereswilder, Cyanna Mercury, The Noise Figures etc.) and mastering sharpening of Nick Townsend (Townsend Mastering, Costa Mesa California US). If there are three words that can fully describe Μινέρβα, these are: Garage, Moustache & Desire.
