Mini Mansions was founded in 2009 after the Queens of the Stone Age decided to take a break after touring in support of Era Vulgaris. Mini Mansions style has been compared to The Beatles, Elliott Smith and Fountains of Wayne. Picture if you will, an astute crossover between Abbey Road, The White Album and Pet Sounds merged with John Lennon's solo work and Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd with hidden sublets of Radiohead and Blur. Therein lies the expansive aural playground for Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman to dwell and frolic in as if he got lost on an isolated harbor inlet near Manchester and took inspiration in loneliness.
