Manchester quartet Mandy, Indiana have released a new single, Idea Is Best. This is the first taste of new music from Mandy, Indiana since the release of their debut album via Fire Talk, ‘i’ve seen a way,’ named one of 2023’s best albums by New York Times, Pitchfork, UPROXX, Treble, and more. Idea Is Best is an industrial club-ready track with deep, thumping bass rumbling underneath sweeping synths and singer Valentine Caufield’s haunting whisper echoing throughout. The accompanying video features kaleidoscopic live footage of the band shot by Hitness Club and edited by Harry Steel.
This month, Mandy, Indiana brought their “physically — yet brilliantly — overwhelming” (NME) live set to Coachella Music & Arts Festival and Elsewhere in New York. This is their largest headlining US show to date and featured special guests Mary Jane Dunphe and Water from Your Eyes (DJ set). Mandy, Indiana thrive in the unexpected, and their performances have become a vehicle to explore the boundaries of tension and release. A full list of upcoming dates are below and tickets are on sale now.
