Recorded in caves, crypts, and shopping centers, Mandy, Indiana's debut album i've seen a way is everywhere at once.
Theirs is music made from their place within the world, and is a sound that arrived fully-realized from their very first singles: "We have no agenda," says band member Scott Fair. "The music is chaotic and we draw from every genre we can think of. By our nature we are amorphous – this is often used pejoratively, but we consider it to be a wholly positive quality.” Though painstakingly crafted, where Mandy, Indiana thrives is the unexpected - and the resulting album sounds like nothing that has come before it.
We're excited to announce Mandy, Indiana as part of On The Rise, our dedicated curation putting a spotlight on the emerging music we are the most excited for you to hear, to follow and become a fan of. Read on to discover more about the artist in their own words and make sure you check out i've seen a way out now via Fire Talk.
