Mansionair

Overview

'Hold Me Down' is the only song Sydney three-piece Mansionair have released. Ever. But it's got 5.5 million hits on YouTube and has peaked at number one on Hype Machine. Not bad for a first go.

The Sydneysiders have also just been signed to CHVRCHES' label, Goodbye Records. (By the way, CHVRCHES seem to be on to a good thing with that one. Earlier this year they signed the baby-faced, angel-voiced Irish teenager SOAK — she plays the kind of hauntingly beautiful, emotionally complex acoustic tracks that will make you question your emotional development at her age, and now, and into the future.)

Mansionair's debut EP will be released on October 13, but if you fancy yourself as someone with their finger on the musical pulse of this city — or you're just a fan of the mellow and mesmerising sounds of 'Hold Me Down' — get yourself along to their upcoming three-date string of shows, supporting Movement. If CHVRCHES' endorsement and the hype around the song are anything to go by, it's doubtful you'll be able to experience them in such an intimate setting again.
