Mandy, Indiana - Bottle Episode

Grotesqualizer

Manchester, UK experimentalists Mandy, Indiana share their work “... EP,” and here’s the powerful release opening.

The track “Bottle Episode” is tense mechanical rock, and it seems to have absorbed all the energy of a haunted and disturbing factory area. After a minute of the repetitive drum intro and speech, to the pulse of the kick drum, “Bottle Episode” is getting filled with an inauspicious howling of alarm signals and a frightening metallic noise-gritting, reminiscent of Einsturzende Neubauten. The appearing martial drums intensify the rhythm in an ominous way. And Valentine Caulfield’s broadcasting vocals, already passed through the distortion filters, become an apocalyptic portent.
