Mandy, Indiana are back with their first new music since releasing their great 2023 debut album. “Idea is Best” is eerie and minimal, slowly building tension before exploding late in the song.
“‘Idea is Best’ was produced whilst we were touring Europe,” the band say. “After a particularly memorable gig at a Hitness Club event in Leipzig we took audio recorded in the crowd and manipulated it into this mutant track. It’s the first track we’ve ever written on the road and feels like it captures the mood of that time and space very well.” Watch the video below.
This new song comes just ahead of Mandy, Indiana’s visit to the US, where they’ll play both Sundays of Coachella (April 14 & 21) before heading to NYC to play Elsewhere on April 23 with Mary Jane Dunphe and Water From Your Eyes (DJ Set). They’ve also got a few European festivals on their 2023 schedule, including Primavera Sound, Roskilde, and Iceland Airwaves. All dates are listed below.
