Originally recorded in 1968 and slated for release on Sire Records, Microminiature Love by outsider-folk/psych-rock icon Michael Yonkers languished unreleased until unearthed and issued by de Stijl Records as a limited, vinyl-only pressing in 2002. Back then, our friends at San Francisco institution Aquarius Records described it better than we ever could:"An obscure late-sixties ahead-of-his-time visionary gets his due with this LP reissue. Yonkers' stuff was like nothing anyone had heard back then (or even now really): fucked-up garage psych with dementedly genius lyrics and crazy acid-fried guitar. Yonkers, a legendary Minneapolis-area figure, built his own effects pedals, cut his Fender Telecaster down to a plank, and played like no one else ever. I'm at a loss of words on how to describe this. It's sort of like a fusion of stripped down Black Sabbath, The Troggs, Pere Ubu, and The Cramps?"Sub Pop subsequently released the album on CD, and then in 2011 did a limited vinyl pressing, which has been out of print for many years. Sadly, Michael Yonkers passed away in 2026 during the planning of this reissue. He was an incredible, truly singular artist, and one of the sweetest people we've ever met. We hope that this release helps shine a light on his artistic legacy.
