Haunted Mansions reveal their brilliant psych-hop debut single "Sunshine Crawlers"

01 February 2017, 11:00 | Written by Andrew Hannah

Norwegian duo Haunted Mansions might be based in the currently-frozen north of Trondheim, but their debut track is firmly fixed on Californian sunshine.

Made up of the little-and-large Thomas Gregussen (beats, guitar, bass, keys) and Vegard Sando (vocals, guitar), "Sunshine Crawlers" is a charming melding of genres and a real statement of what to expect from Haunted Mansions.

Combining psychedelic indie pop with hip hop beats in a style which recalls Broken Bells, this debut rolls along on languid beats and twanging slo-mo surf guitar...and a positively horizontal-sounding vocal from singer Sando. No clue what a "sunshine crawler" is, but it sounds like someone who might be out to harsh Haunted Mansions' mellow.

"Sunshine Crawlers" is out via Riot Factory, and Haunted Mansions play the Trondheim Calling festival this week, 2-4 February.
