Garage-psych band The Mantles share the A side of their forthcoming Memory 7″, out December 2 via Slumberland Records and French labels Les Disques Steak / SDZ.  You can Stream “Memory” below.

The Bay Area has a rich history of garagey, folk-rock bands and since their formation in 2007 The Mantles have carved themselves out a very unique spot in that lineage. From their roots as a loose & loud Velvets/Nuggets-bashing outfit through a series of excellent releases on labels like Siltbreeze and Mexican Summer, the band developed their sound and moved towards a more contemplative, melodic vibe. In 2013 they released their second album, the Kelley Stoltz produced Long Enough To Leave, which saw them consolidate the progression of the previous records into a uniquely impressionistic brand of psychedelic pop.

The Mantles are:

Michael Olivares – guitar, vocals

Justin Loney – lead guitar, vocals

Matt Bullimore – bass, vocals

Virginia Weatherby – drums, vocals

Carly Putnam – keyboards, etc
