It was right around this time last year that we were getting ready for Ben & Cy Fest [which it looks like there won’t be a round two this year — bummer] But one of the bands playing last year that blew us away the most was San Fransisco’s Mantles. We’ve mentioned them a couple times here but they just recently had a new EP, Cascades, come out on Mexican Summer [They’ve put out releases from Jacuzzi Boys, Real Estate, Eddy Current, blah blah blah] We’ve been jamming it for the last little while and gotta say that it’s pretty stellar. It feels sort of like the perfect “See ya later” to Summer record: rocking and short and you’ll get more soon enough. Check out 3 of the 5 tracks below….
The Mantles – Lilly Never Married [mp3]
The Mantles – Cascades [mp3]
The Mantles – Don’t Lie [mp3]
Now that you’ve already got more than half of it, scoop it. Mantles aren’t touring anytime soon — BUT HEY YO MANTLES IF YOU READIN: COME TO NASHY WE HOOK IT UP!
