Mandy, Indiana Announce First US Shows, Share "The Driving Rain (18)" Video
“[Mandy, Indiana’s] live show is physically — yet brilliantly — overwhelming. They have an ability to execute multiple sounds simultaneously, from crafting immense industrial clamour to pairing lacerating descriptions of their home city against rattling, suspenseful drums.” — NME
Mandy, Indiana — the thrilling Manchester-bred experimental noise quartet — announce a run of US tour dates in support of their lauded debut album, i’ve seen a way, released last month on Fire Talk. Named Best New Music by Pitchfork, i’ve seen a way “fuses dance rhythms, corroded guitars, and seething vocals into a transfixing blend of violence and transcendence.” These shows mark the band’s debut performances in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, a much-anticipated return to the United States following their exciting run at SXSW earlier this year. Mandy, Indiana thrive in the unexpected, and their live sets have become a vehicle to explore the boundaries of tension and release. Full dates are listed below, and tickets are on sale here this Friday, June 23rd at 10am local time.
In conjunction, the band unveils a music video for album standout, “The Driving Rain (18),” made by producer/guitarist Scott Fair using found anime clips. Built from a “simple ambient sketch and a drum machine loop” (The Quietus), the “neon-lit strut” (Brooklyn Vegan) of “The Driving Rain (18)” shows a different side to Mandy, Indiana.
