Mandy, Indiana Share New Track "Nike of Samothrace"
Combining elements of post-punk, noise & electronics, today we're excited to introduce you to Mandy, Indiana. Based in Manchester UK, the band have signed to Fire Talk and are sharing their new single & video "Nike of Samothrace", which was directed by Will Shields now.
Speaking about the track, the band said "We wanted 'Nike of Samothrace' to be like a blunt instrument, both lyrically and musically. It's purely brute force, gouging away with all dials turned up full, including the gutteral bass line, which was inspired by Thomas Bangalter's score for Irreversible and Hans Zimmer's score for Blade Runner 2049. We're very much driven by rhythm and movement and also wanted to experiment with a Liquid Liquid style percussive breakdown, we love when genres and dynamics are smashed together in an untidy way... we love to butcher things."
"reminiscent of the sort of scuzzy, rhythmic racket being made by the magnificent Special Interest crashing into early Mclusky or Liars" - The Quietus
"jet-engine-having-a-coughing-fit production offset by those half-spoken vocals" - CLASH
"fantastic dystopian groove that is like a 21st century take on the wonderful World Domination Enterprises" - Louder Than War
