American band from Bloomington, Indiana associated with slowcore and post‑rock; noted for melancholic, slow‑tempo atmospheres.

Reviews note influences and comparisons to Slint, Rodan, Codeine, Slowdive, Low and Mineral; Placer Found is described in reviews as a 2000 debut hailed as a 'sensational debut.'

Two DeBaser reviews praise Early Day Miners' slowcore/post‑rock sound. Placer Found (called a sensational debut) and All Harm Ends Here (hailed for its quiet power) are highlighted. Reviews emphasize slow tempos, icy atmospheres and influences from Slint, Codeine, Slowdive and Mineral.

For:Fans of slowcore, post‑rock, melancholic indie rock; listeners of Slint, Codeine, Slowdive and Mineral.

 Released in 2000, 'Placer Found' is what is usually defined as a sensational debut, surpassing all subsequent works (even though they still range from good to excellent), and becoming an instant classic of the genre (one of the last, to be honest).
