Recorded
in
caves,
crypts,
and
shopping
centers,
Mandy,
Indiana's
debut
album’
i've
seen
a
way’
is
everywhere
at
once:
Their
first
recordings
emerged
around
2019,
with
a
smattering
of
early
singles
released
not
long
after,
culminating
in
2021’s
critically
acclaimed
‘…’
EP
which
saw
the
band
draw
early
cosigns
including
a
remix
from
Daniel
Avery
and
support
slots
from
Squid,
and
Gilla
Band.
The
latter’s
Daniel
Fox
mixed
several
of
the
tracks
on
the
album
alongside
Robin
Stewart
(Giant
Swan)
and
the
album
was
mastered
by
Heba
Kedry
(Ryuichi
Sakamoto,
Bjork).
Like
Thomas
Bangalter
locked
in
This
Heat's
Cold
Storage
fridge
studio
with
Special
Interest
for
a
weekend,
keeping
their
setup
minimal
for
maximum
effect.
Buried
found
sound
samples,
sprawling
percussive
experiments
are
arranged
via
oblique
references
to
film
soundtrack
strategies
and
experimental
video
games..
"We
take
inspiration
from
films
where
the
language
of
cinema
is
disrupted,"
explains
Fair,
who
takes
Julia
Ducournau's
narrative
detournements
as
a
key
influence.
"We
want
to
alter
textures,
create
clashes,
and
craft
those
moments
when
what
you're
expecting
to
happen
never
comes
–
by
subverting
expectations
you
keep
an
audience
on
its
toes."
Though
‘i’ve
seen
a
way’
was
painstakingly
crafted,
where
Mandy,
Indiana
thrives
is
the
unexpected
-
and
the
resulting
album
sounds
like
nothing
that
has
come
before
it.
