It’s like if the Rocky Horror Show was two minutes of Brad and Janet standing outside the gothic castle in the rain and 90 of the Time Warp: Frontier Gnosis starts with ominous synthesiser chords, but barely six seconds in the hypnotic, disco-esque beats fade in, suggesting party time in an ultra persuasive way. It’s a pretty immersive experience, this track, warm and fascinating; actually, so much so that when the beats drop out four minutes later it’s like jumping out of bed on a cold morning. Elsewhere on Many Mansions’ upcoming split with RQ faves Truman Peyote, Peaced Together, the vibe turns more to drowsy ambience and elsewhere still to freaked-out tropicalia/classick rock/folktronica (?!): real relaxing, good-times-oriented stuff, basically, and the perfect thing to have handy if summer ever returns to the northern hemisphere. Australia & New Zealand, you have no reason to not grab this right now.
