Mandy, Indiana (in-the-round)

Manchester-based experimental noise quartet Mandy, Indiana present an exclusive in-the-round performance at ICA this December. Closing the chapter on their critically-acclaimed album and tour of ‘I’ve seen a way’, it’s an opportunity to see the band up-close and personal as they harness the possibilities of spatial audio using the venue’s state-of-the-art 360° sound system, d&b Soundscape.

Recorded in caves, crypts and shopping malls, 'i've seen a way' transcends genre into an expertly executed vision that is at once chaotic and precision engineered. As producer/guitarist Scott Fair explains, “We wanted to alter textures, create clashes, and craft those moments when what you’re expecting to happen never comes.” The band’s soundworld is completed by frontperson Valentine Caulfield’s lyrics of fury and fairytales, as she sings in her native French to express her frustration at the state of the world.

Mandy, Indiana initially came to fruition after Caulfield and Fair met sharing a bill with their former projects in the fertile Manchester scene, and was later completed with the addition of Simon Catling (synth) and Alex Macdougall (drums).

Please note a venue levy of £1.50 is included in thre cost of all tickets.
