Eccentric Philly-based rockers Man Man have announced the release of their fifth studio album, On Oni Pond, due out September 10th via ANTI-. The follow-up to 2011?s Life Fantastic was also produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit).
In a press release, frontman Honus Honus said, “This is a strange and beautiful record but it’s also head on and fearless. It’s not a record that’s going to flirt with you, this is a record that’s asking you out. If you get into bed with us there’s going to be a relationship.”
Before agreeing to go steady, check out the lyric video for album cut “Head On”. In their own bizarre way, Honus Honus and Pow Pow have crafted a motivational tune, delivering strange-yet-beautiful life advice (“Hold on to your heart/ Never let nobody drag it under”) over lush harmonies, muted guitars, and random bits of string work. Check it out below.
It’s available at exystence
YOU GUYS THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING
Guys…Guys…I’ve tried several failed attempts at getting this. I’m DYING to hear this album. I don’t think I can wait another week. Can someone please DM me a link, I’d agree to terrible terms. I need this album in my life now, and I’m apparently not good at finding it myself. What is waffles?
