LISTEN :: Man Man share “Life Fantastic”
April 13, 2011
Previously, we brought you “Knuckle Down,” the first single to be heard from Man Man‘s forthcoming Life Fantastic, which featured the dark, layered, and multi-instrumental sound that Man Man has become known for. On the title track “Life Fantastic,” however, Man Man seems to tone down their energy and focus more on the story of the song, which details finding a corpse during a family picnic. Don’t let the airiness of “Life Fantastic” fool you though! There is a section of the song that Stereogum has described as a “…40-second Steve Vai shredding guitar solo in a chaotic break down at the the climax.”
Based off these two singles, it appears that Man Man has made a big step forward with their sound, and have really focused on certain elements of their music, rather than putting the focus on the use of multiple/random instruments. Take a listen to “Life Fantastic” below and let us know what YOU think!
