Mancino Week - Day 4

Few bands could pull off a song apparently about cartoon characters dropping anvils on each other in such rocking fashion. Yet another reason Mancino is so impressive. The dexterity they exhibit in making the light and absurd somewhat dark and brooding and the dark and brooding somewhat light and absurd is a truly rare thing. And it’s in full effect in “The Anvil And Me.”

Also, check out Soft Communication today for a post featuring “Lavendar Lake” by Mancino.

Mancino Week continues with video of “Monster Trucks” as performed at Pianos.

There’s something about this song that we feel particularly showcases the band’s strengths — with its dynamic build, dramatic swells, and a perfect low-key, yet quietly intense, resolution.
