I liked this a lot when it came out but I guess I didn’t really give it my full attention until the last few days because it’s been knocking me on my ass over and over this week.
Not sure if this review has been posted already but it’s a great read Album Review: Mandancing - The Good Sweat
Well shit I’m only on Hey Friends, that’s such a complicated drumming pattern, wow whoever’s on the drums slaps. Some really insane fills there too
Yes the opening 3 tracks are very good, but from Wall Spot on is fucking great. So much potential shinning through here
I can think as loud as I want to I can sing as hard as I feel And no one could take this away from me Only ever what you give is real Potential? Potential? We talking about potential? This already the real deal ha. Hope, hope, hope these guys have a bunch of albums ahead of themselves and follow in the same sound maybe experimental reaching a little. Songs growing on me over time, and I loved them on first listen.
I feel bad constantly doing comparisons but the guitar feels like something BN would do. I don’t that’s a bad musical comparison though.
Not to double down on comparisons to problematic bands, but the vocals really remind me of Pinegrove on the third track.
I really like his voice but I haven’t been able to bring myself to listen to PG in forever..it’s nice to kind of hear it again and enjoy it without the internal guilt lol. Also just finished. Really liked the whole thing a lot. Good shit coming from the mandancing camp.
We’re not comparing the band behaviours, so I assume people can understand that. The vocals at the start reminded me on Ben Gibbard, but then it shifted. I never listened to Pinegrove, so you may be right in terms of vocal delivery.
Another live session better quality this time. Rest of the bill was great as well - loving idle wave. Mandancing at 2hours 35 mins
I listened to this record again last week. Looking forward to hearing more new records from this band.
