Mini Mansions Freakout! (Feb’15) has a rock dance vibe. Yeah in that order. If you don’t like Mini Mansions let me assure you there’s a damn sight more crackle and pop in this track than their usual limp wristed wank. A bit like Death Is A Girl and a bit David Bowie-ish in parts. Ziggy Stardust to be precise.
There’s a bass and drum stomp that marches the song jauntily forward, in juxtaposition to some maudlin lyrics, toward a crescendo of a chorus. A track about social unease it’s got a strong dose of something outside the box and is, fuckin easily, one of the best indie songs of 2015.
Mini Mansions are an indie pop three piece from Los Angeles making music since 2009. Freakout is the second single off their second album The Great Pretenders (Mar’15). The bass player is from Queens of the Stone Age.
Shit you need to know:
Mini Mansions have been described as akin to the Beatles and Beach Boys. The tune Freakout! has been likened to the Cars or Soft Cell.
Mini Mansions have said their main influences are 60's and 70's psych pop and especially The Beatles, Elliot Smith and Devo.
Mini Mansions collaborated with Alex Turner, who basically is the Arctic Monkeys, on the track Vertigo (Mar’15) and with Brain Wilson, who basically is the Beach Boys, on the track Any Emotions (Jan’15).
Two of the band members met
in a basketball game they played when 11 years old and formed a band they
played in through to ninth grade.
The tag team today is Canadian indie rock
band the New Pornographer’s cover of Your
Daddy Don’t Know (2002).
Fuck yeah it rocks as hard as having a brick
laborer finger fuck your cock hole.

You come down as fast as lightening”
