Thee Manatees by Thee Manatees
Dark and troubled times call for an off kilter accompaniment, and with their debut eponymous album, Thee Manatees have delivered the soundtrack to a less than comfortable world.
Featuring garage-esque chain stomping riffs in tunes such as Bar Brawl, end of the world faustian pacts in Run Down the Devil and an eerie ode to a leviathan dragging us to unplumbed depths in The Whale. These tunes have familiar elements, but like the world we now live in, nothing is really as straightforward as it seems.
Recorded in Cardiff at King's Road Studios by Andrew Sanders and mastered by Charlie Francis with artwork by Designworld, Cardiff.

Thee Manatees bring a dynamic air of garage and scuzzy impudence, their cleverly crafted tunes leave you feeling unsettled … and slightly lubricous. The vocals and pared back musicianship bring smoky intrigue reminiscent of Hollywood’s darker edged cinema. Think Noir, Lynch, Tarantino.
