If there is a definition for indie pop in the dictionary, there's a good chance there's a picture of The Minders. Yet another branch of the Elephant 6 collective's family tree, the Minders are led by singer/songwriter Martyn Leaper, a British expatriate living in Denver, Colorado. There he befriended Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider, who agreed to release the Minders' debut EP, Come on and Hear!!, on Elephant 6 in the spring of 1996.
