Thursday Night Confidential June 24th

Mantler/Monody

BRC062

Mantler, Toronto’s answer to Shuggie Otis and best kept secret has found the pocket again with the smooth, soulful and thoughtful Monody. Its far too engaging to call easy listening, but its easy to love. Look no further for your summer jams than the soul scorching In Stride  and the electro funk delights Fresh and Fair and Breaking Past the Day. I could go on. Every track is a treat. Junior Boy Jeremy Greenspan produces a few tracks, Owen Pallett arranges.

This is a limited edition 12″ vinyl run. ORDER IT HERE!

(Of course, the vinyl comes with a free digital download.)
