Mini is a six-song EP by The Wedding Present. [2] It was released in 1996 by Cooking Vinyl. [3] All of the songs are about automobiles. [4]
The Washington Post praised the American version, Mini Plus, writing that the songs "typically combine terse, jumpy guitars with explosive drums and modest but effective hooks." [5] The Chicago Reader wrote: "Over frenzied rhythms and smart guitar play, David Gedge croons an impressive array of hooks with enough eccentricity to make Morrissey sound like a shy mumbler." [2]
All tracks written by Belk/Gedge/Smith.
The EP was issued as Mini Plus in America, with three extra tracks.
"Sucker" written by Belk/Gedge/Smith. "Waiting on the Guns" written by Butterglory. "Jet Girl" written by Belk/Dorrington/Gedge/Smith.
