Man Man have announced a new album, Carrot on Strings, which will be out June 7 via Sub Pop. “When I was younger, I would feed off of chaos. I would, you know, be upset and get drunk and smash chairs. Physically demonstrative of my emotions,” says Ryan Kattner, aka main Man Man man Honus Honus, in regards to the vibe of the new album. “Now those chairs are in my head: It’s less of an outward projection, more of an interior monologue.”
The first single from Carrot on Strings is “Iguana,” a bouncy song which came to Kattner while cycling through the hills of Los Angeles. “That’s how I found a lot of the songs, through looping…if you passed by me on the street, you probably thought I was a very unstable person, singing and workshopping ideas, but I guess in LA that kinda goes with the territory.” Listen to the song below.
UPDATE: Man Man have announced tour dates as well, including NYC’s Racket on June 18. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, March 22 at 10 AM local time. Check out the schedule below.
