Manix & Able8 are on the brink of unleashing 'Straitjackets For The Uninspired’, a six-track EP that was gradually conspired between years of projects together, pieced together like a complex jigsaw puzzle.
Within this release, Manix skilfully intertwines lyrics that are infused with undertones of self-deprecation and sarcasm, painting a narrative that explores the shadowy realms of mental health struggles and addiction. Each verse flows seamlessly to accompany the tones set by Producer Able8, who's compositions bring haunting soundscapes of thickly stacked synths and thumping drums, over saturated analogue bass lines.
'Straitjackets For The Uninspired' also showcases the lush voice of Selki on ‘Losing Sleep, alongside co-productions from Phillip Drummond and U-Wish. Plus be sure to look out for the imminent drop of the groups first video single 'Bad Karma', featuring razor sharp flows from Joe Snow.
Join us on April 13th at Bar 303, where we have organised a stacked line-up of local talent to help celebrate the launch of this project.
