Mandy, Indiana, an innovative band based in Manchester and Berlin, introduces their powerful, dynamic drums and invigorating production in "Magazine," the intense lead single from their upcoming second album (and Sacred Bones debut), ‘URGH.’ Content Warning: This review contains references to sexual assault, trauma, and healing, which may be sensitive for some readers. follow our Today’s Song(s) playlist Stream: “Magazine” – Mandy, Indiana Pain frequently arises on the unanticipated journeys we must take. While its presence may be unavoidable, it is never unmanageable. Mandy, Indiana reclaims their strength, using volume and harshness as tools for expression, unapologetically embracing the intensity while conveying a sense of racing through darkness towards light, healing, and personal creativity. The Manchester–Berlin group has gained recognition for their electrifying sound, transforming despair into a transcendent experience with their 2023 debut, *i’ve seen a way*, which is both sonically captivating and deeply cathartic, immersive, and conceptually atmospheric. Since their inception in 2020, Mandy, Indiana has comprised four members: vocalist Valentine Cauldfield, guitarist and producer Scott Fair, synth player Simon Catling, and drummer Alex Macdougall. Their music transcends emotional limits, employing dissonance to provoke self-reflection and change. Their forthcoming sophomore album, *URGH*, set for release on February 6 via Sacred Bones, is anticipated to feature ten tracks that delve into deeper themes and experimental sounds. In their newly released lead single, “Magazine,” they present a ceaseless, jarring sound that resonates with acute energy—felt viscerally as it provides a space for healing and self-empowerment amid distorted sonic layers. The track tackles the theme of justice solidarity through an artful and confrontational sound. In Cauldfield’s personal reflection on the song, she shares: “‘Magazine’ symbolizes the frustration and ingrained violence I faced while attempting to heal from my rape. Like many victims of sexual assault, I will likely never see justice, and my attacker will probably never be held accountable. My therapist suggested channeling my anger into something constructive, and here it is: my primal, screaming demand for retribution. It’s the sole means I have to tell my rapist: You harmed me, so now I’ll harm you.” French lyrics: Tu peux courir Cette fois Si tu te caches Tu n’m’échapperas pas * Abandonne Tout espoir Car ce soir Je viens pour toi * Oui, tu m’as eue La dernière fois Mais ce soir Je viens pour toi * Abandonne Tout espoir Car ce soir Je viens pour toi English translation: You can run This time If you hide You won’t escape me * Abandoned All hope Because tonight I’m coming for you * Yes, you got me Last time But tonight I’m coming for you * Abandoned All hope Because tonight I’m coming for you Cauldfield voices in the lyrics a longing to pursue someone, fueled by a deserving craving for justice, representing not only herself but also others with comparable experiences. The French line “Tu peux courir,” translating to “you can run,” invites listeners into a realm of unwavering healing that alleviates any feelings of isolation. It signifies a transition from suffering to confidence grounded in resilience, irrespective of the outcome. Sonically, the song opens with resonant low frequencies that shake the senses, accompanied by thick kick drums and clashing synths, with its production invigorating like a rapid heartbeat. The entire track encapsulates the tension and electricity of angst, jolting every vertebra with its raw urgency for justice. French lyrics: Je viens pour toi Alors vas-y, cours Je n’te louperai pas Je viens pour toi * Cette fois Malgré ce que tu crois Tu ne m’échapperas Pas * Cette fois Malgré ce que tu crois Tu ne m’échapperas * Pas Cette fois Malgré ce que tu crois Tu ne m’échapperas English translation: I’m coming for you So go ahead, run I won’t miss you I’m coming for you * This time Despite what you believe You won’t escape me Not * This time Despite what you believe You won’t escape me * Not This time Despite what you believe You won’t escape me Mandy, Indiana moves towards hope, healing, and liberation through cathartic dissonance. The path to healing cannot be rushed, yet “Magazine” advances with unwavering energy,
