Reviews and Comments

Today, i’ve seen a way — the acclaimed debut from Manchester quartet Mandy, Indiana released via Fire Talk Records — was named one of Rough Trade’s Best Albums of 2023. In conjunction with today’s announcement, Mandy, Indiana present “Sheared (Pinking Shears Rework),” a clipping. rework of album standout “Pinking Shears.”

clipping.’s rework of “Pinking Shears” filters the politically charged track through a US lens. “The dream is all crooked cops, retail mark-up on basic goods, an ex-president getting away with treason,” raps Tony and GRAMMY Award winner Daveed Diggs. Rough Trade’s exclusive 12” features the reimagined clipping. version alongside the original “Pinking Shears” and an instrumental version of the track.

Praise for Mandy, Indiana:

“[Mandy, Indiana] whip up a dark, scattered sonic storm: an enthralling, danceable swirl of discordant EDM and crashing waves of unruly noise-rock.” — The Guardian
"'Pinking Shears' is already one of the year's biggest bangers. When gloriously distorted production joins the fray, the band reach new heights entirely." - The Quietus
"Mandy, Indiana are the beating heart of Manchester’s DIY scene... The band's upcoming debut album glows with experimental, urgent post-punk that champions resistance and chaos" - NME
“Uncompromising and unsettling dance music at its most provocative and unaccommodating, bracingly feral and fierce” - The Sunday Times (Breaking Act)
"The album is a powerhouse of distortion, mangled melodies and stories of inequality, petty grievances and a hatred of late-stage capitalism” 7/10 - CLASH
“Mandy, Indiana re chasing the unexpected” - Crack
“Should keep us dancing all the way through the apoacalyspe” - The Wire
“‘i've seen a way’ sees the band marching down their own path, and it’s one worth following” 4* - DIY
“There’s catharsis and resistance in the industrial abrasion of the sound [Mandy, Indiana] create, like a rogue machine created from cobbled-together parts suddenly learning how to talk back.” - The New York Times

“[i’ve seen a way] fuses dance rhythms, corroded guitars, and seething vocals into a transfixing blend of violence and transcendence” - Pitchfork, Best New Music
“i’ve seen a way reflects an oppressive world back at itself while also pointing towards a more positive future.” - FADER

“[i’ve seen a way] lands like the snarl of a predatory animal that suddenly realizes the hungry rumble in its stomach." - Bandcamp
