Mandy, Indiana sign to Sacred Bones and announce new album, URGH
Mandy, Indiana have announced their new album, URGH, alongside news of their signing to Sacred Bones and release of lead single, "Magazine".
Commenting on the song, vocalist Valentine Caulfield explains: “‘Magazine’ is the expression of the frustration and deep-seated violence I felt while attempting to recover from being raped. Just like most victims of sexual assault, I will never get justice, and just like most perpetrators, my attacker will never be punished. My therapist encouraged me to channel my anger into something productive, so here it is: my primal, screaming call for retribution. It is the only way I will ever get to say to my rapist: you hurt me, so I’m going to hurt you.”
Following their acclaimed 2023 debut, i’ve seen a way, the new full-length release, URGH – which was co-produced and co-mixed by Fair and Daniel Fox of Gilla Band – finds the band expanding their far-reaching sound with each member – Caulfield, guitarist and producer Scott Fair, synth player Simon Catling, and drummer Alex Macdougall – actively taking part in the songwriting process.
The band are also set to tour across Europe next year with UK shows in London, Leeds and Glasgow.
Tracklist:
- Sevastopol
- Magazine
- try saying
- Dodecahedron
- A Brighter Tomorrow
- Life Hex
- ist halt so
