Placer Found is the first full-length recording by the American band Early Day Miners, released on Western Vinyl in 2000. [4] [5] It was reissued by Secretly Canadian in 2020. [6]
AllMusic called Placer Found "a fragile album of moody textures and minimalist, slow rock sound explorations." [1] Exclaim! wrote: "Like a two-headed beast that could be called Calexi-Low, these Miners are more interested in open spaces than the depths; no one could mistake this for music made by a big city band." [7] The Indianapolis Star deemed the album "a liquid dream of a record," writing that "the playing, never agitated or grandiose, challenges many definitions of rock guitar." [8]
Paste described the album as "glassy guitar tones, sedate tempos and a mood that took the slowcore template of Codeine and Low and adapted it for the emo generation." [6] Reviewing the reissue, Spin called the album "an essential catalyst for the new directions that Midwestern indie rock would take in the 21st century." [9]
