Our Newest “Sealebrity”: Christopher & Robin of MANSIONS

The band Mansions have been haunting me in the most beautiful way for the last almost 2 years. Completely enamored and hush mouthed about them, as if my own stash of drugs. It wasn’t until the delivery of their latest LP ‘Doom Loop‘, that I  picked up my jaw off the floor, and started to dig in and find out more about them and why they seemed to be flying under the Seattle scenes radar ….I mean they had 8k+ followers on FB, and not one industry person I knew had liked them. (not that, that’s the end all be all, but you know what I mean). Closer to the release date I started telling a few more key people about this Seattle gem. I mean this latest album is a total fucking knock out, and in no-way should it go without proper recognition.  I have been listening to it from beginning to end for the past 2-3 months.

I was happy enough to catch up with them before they head out east this month with Their/They’re/There and kick off their tour December 14th in St. Louis at The Firebird.
