THE MANX - MALIBU SLIME [LP]
THE MANX - MALIBU SLIME [LP]
THE SOPHOMORE LP FROM CALI-ORNIA’S FINEST GOO-CORE MISCREANTS THE MANX. FEATURING GUEST APPEARANCES BY JUSTIN ROILAND (RICK AND MORTY) AND JUSTIN PEARSON (THE LOCUST, DEAF CLUB).
The album mixes psycho-surf, math-rock, and death-metal with synth-pop, shoe-gaze, cartoon-punk and beyond… All resulting in a kind of hodgepodge of “GOO”. That’s why they’ve decided to call it “GOO-CORE”… Produced and recorded by TOSHI KASAI (MELVINS, TOOL, QUI, etc.), the record takes you on a journey through digital fire and hell-scapes, cartoon kingdoms of rabbits and surfing larva queens and beyond…
FFO: The Locust, GWAR, The Aquabats, MELVINS, Mr. Bungle, Melted Bodies, Man Man, Leftover Crack, Buckethead, etc.
About the artist:
Animated and slime-slathered, The Manx have morphed over time from an acoustic folk-punk three piece into their current form – An explosive, bubble-fueled arcade-amped quintet featuring obscure instruments, cartoon styling, and their own wonky lexicon. The Manx are a surrealist, avant-garde punk act made up of full-time animators and an anchor salesman.
Cynical and gritty, but somehow also whimsical, the lyrics spew forth with a post-hardcore urgency, and the band rage with an unmatched energy and completely unique aesthetic. Their new long-player, Malibu Slime (2019) was produced by Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Tweak Bird, Qui) and features cameos from friends Justin Roiland (Rick & Morty), Justin Pearson (The Locust, DEAF CLUB), and Derek Mears (Friday the 13th).
Malibu Slime encapsulates the art-punk world that is The Manx, complete with unparalleled riffage and a universe of spectacular characters. In addition to the band, its members have developed music for Nickelodeon Animation Studios, designed characters for Rick and Morty, shot series for Adult Swim and Comedy Central, and literally sold anchors.
