"The Manchester quartet's debut album fuses dance rhythms, corroded guitars, and seething vocals into a transfixing blend of violence and transcendence." - Pitchfork

Recorded in caves, crypts, and shopping centers, Mandy, Indiana's debut album i've seen a way is everywhere at once: channeling the chaos that surrounds our everyday lives, their debut is an exquisitely rendered portrait that transcends genre into an expertly-executed vision that's entirely new and adventurous. A four-piece experimental noise band that formed out of the fertile Manchester scene, the group initially came to fruition after vocalist Valentine Caulfield and Scott Fair met sharing a bill with their former projects.

Produced by the band's own Fair, they are like Thomas Bangalter locked in This Heat's Cold Storage fridge studio with Special Interest for a weekend, keeping their setup minimal for maximum effect. Buried found sound samples, sprawling percussive experiments are arranged via oblique references to film soundtrack strategies. "We take inspiration from films where the language of cinema is disrupted," explains Fair, who takes Julia Ducournau's narrative detournements as a key influence. "We want to alter textures, create clashes, and craft those moments when what you're expecting to happen never comes - by subverting expectations you keep an audience on its toes."

Mandy, Indiana draw on the broad sonic palette of experimental noise music, from drum machine snaps to white noise,; sprung synths and pulsing bass to lo-fi scuff. The band's soundworld is completed by Caulfield's lyrics that tell of fury and fairytales. Theirs is music made from their place within the world, and is a sound that arrived fully-realized from their very first singles: "We have no agenda," says Fair. "The music is chaotic and we draw from every genre we can think of. By our nature we are amorphous - this is often used pejoratively, but we consider it to be a wholly positive quality." Though painstakingly crafted, where Mandy, Indiana thrives is the unexpected - and the resulting album sounds like nothing that has come before it.
