IF MANIS FIVE
BLOOD IS THE INK HATE IS THE STORY
IF MAN IS FIVE
This is an ambitious, far-reaching DIY release. The group covers a continuum from goth rock to art rock musically, and the vocals (mostly Angela Timon and Brianna Salazar) strech from a what-you-would expect- sneering snarl to gentle pop styles to a technical soul delivery wit a lot of flourishes. All of these disparate elements are imperfectly rendered and only loosely stiched together, but taking in the vision the group is beginning to render makes this band one t watch.
