According to their Myspace site
Mimas is a Danish death indie act (in their own words) from Aarhus, Denmark.

Well I think the lads are telling fibs. Here is a bit more…

Mimas concerts confronts the audience with music inspired by the American post-rock scene combined with a lavish handful of jazz and sequences clearly showing the band’s passion for heavy metal. The lead vocals have been compared to singers as varied and different as Dean Wareham of Galaxie 500, Efrim of The silver mt. zion as well as Jónsi of Sigur Rós. Underneath the lead vocals the music consists of two guitars, bas, drums, electronics, keyboards, sampling, loops, trumpets and choir. This mixed instrumentation and the raw, honest expression along with the often morbid yet humorous content of the lyrics has been praised by Danish and English cultural media – including Drowned in Sound, tasty fanzine, losing today subbacultcha, RoomThirteen, Digital spy, Soundvenue and Mymusic.

See the problem is you can understand the singer, I mean it’s a dead giveaway. We’ve all heard death metal acts and the vocals are processed through so much stuff the singer could be reciting verses from Alice in Wonderland for all we would know. So, sorry guys, you will have to try harder and make up a better story.

Fortunately the music doesn’t need much work at all, lots of light and shade, the aforementioned vocals and yummy guitar bits. All in all it’s pretty damn good.
