View Full Version : Mansions (Official Thread)
Does anyone else like Mansions at all? It seems like this kid is seriously underrated and under exposed. It's really pathetic. You can't even buy "New Best Friends" on Amazon.
Hopefully the upcoming November tour with TGUK will help.
New Best Friends is great. Definitely one of my favourite albums of the year.

New Best Friends is awesome. I downloaded it while ago and plan to buy it eventually. A very praise worthy record with a lot of emotion and personal substance.

IF you buy the album, you get a free ep with a bunch of songs with acoustic versions and demos. It's worth getting.

Saw him last night.
It was definitely an amazing set. He played with all the house lights on; at first I thought he was a tech, since he was tuning his guitar. Then I realized he was Mansions!
He exceeded my expectations, the set was amazing. Too bad so many people were talking while he played, he had some really great personal moments onstage. Loved it. Even the security guards were watching, hahaa.

New Best Friends comes with a bonus disc with around 36 songs on it. So for one album you get around 50 songs. Most of the bonus songs are demos, acoustic songs, various songs from eps, remixs, etc. Really cool bonus for fans.

Oh i was wondering if I had to purchase the cd online in order to get the extra content. But ill just swing by my local Best Buy and hope they have it

not really. i met him in january when he opened for john nolan. he was very friendly.
i guess id ask if his new stuff is gonna be a departure from New Best Friends or a similar style.
ask him what it was like working with brian from weatherbox for manbox. and if they'll ever collab again

How come seriously everything he does is awesome? Even the random EPs (Mansions EP, Mr. Boddy EP, When I Sleep EP) are absolutely essential.

I spent all night listening to the acoustic versions of dig up the dead. It depressed me, but in a good way. It's comfort when you're feeling down. So, so good...
