Mannequin Men, “Mannequin Men” (Addenda, 2011)
Fresh from a single on Hozac (?), these guys check in with a genuinely excellent album of steady garage punk and roll drawn out and deepened into Velvets-esque hypno-strum. If you could picture a mid-point between Tyvek and Real Estate, this band might be it, but their songwriting might be better than either. If you’re looking for that intimate but peculiar feeling of a rainy day in a bar somewhere you’ve never been before, it’s here.
Try A/2, A/5, B/2, B/3
