Man Man - Six Demon Bag



My obsession this week has been Man Man...they're like old europe's past crossed with music's future. I'm really looking forward to the new album, Six Demon Bag, as everything I've heard is excellent. I gotta believe that these guys would blow my socks off live and will make it my mission to see that happens in the future.

Best description from Are You Familiar: A live act featuring four players, Man Man are almost impossible to describe; their music is at once pop, experimental, indie, and just plain bizarre. Imagine The Decemberists really did get lost at sea in the 18th century, were forced to make their own instruments out of driftwood and animal parts, went slightly insane, and developed a taste for the circus.

Man Man's MySpace is pretty funny. Here are three of the songs off the new album and a few older ones from their S/T album. You need to listen to them all...I mean it...do it. do it. do it.

Man Man - Spider Cider
Man Man - Van Helsing Boombox
Man Man - Engwish Bwudd

Man Man - Zebra
Man Man - I, Manface
Man Man - 10 lb. Moustache

In The Blogs:
Another one I can't wait to get: Best Foot Forward got a hold of a couple of the tracks from the upcoming Cee-Lo/Dangermouse combo Gnarls Barkley. I'm pretty stoked for this one to come out...



Gnarls Barkley - Track 01 (mp4)
Gnarls Barkley - Track 02 (mp4)
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

I Guess I'm Floating has a song from Built To Spill's new yet-to-be-released album.

My personal pick for the beginning of the year, hey don't you find their sound like Tom waits making a soundtrack to Tim Burton :)?

Thanks for the reference there. Yeah, Man Man are amazing, and they DO rock live (we brought them to Toronto for a show, and it was everything you'd imagine). Nice coverage.
