Fresh from their raucous support to Fizzy Blood, London trio Måntra are pleased to unveil a new video for latest single Individual. The track is taken from their forthcoming debut album, titled Dreamland due later this year on Dine Alone Records. (Alexisonfire, City and Colour, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional)
‘We thought we’d follow up our dreamy ambient electronic EP ‘Sleep’ with the most aggressive song we’ve done yet,’ explains Simon Stark. ‘The video was filmed in a couple of hours on an iPhone. It’s kind of tongue in cheek. We can’t wait for people to hear the rest of the album!’
Produced by Tom Dalgety (Pixies, Royal Blood, Ghost), Individual showcases emotive lyrics combined with haunting melodies, crisp, distorted guitars and thundering drums – telling of things to come from Dreamland.
A clear generation gap exists in 2018. Aside from living in one of the most increasingly polarised times – with the resurgence of the far-right in the west, Dickensian levels of inequality and daily deceit delivered by the mass media; there is a whole generation who have slowly slipped into an ether of apathy. Modern pop and rock music now reflects this new paradigm; devoid of any substantive message, or meaning.
