The band is on fire for the entirety of the short-and-savage Perfect, balancing that joyous pop-punk that made Patience such a jam but still proving they can shred when necessary.

There’s the familiar Mannequin Pussy and then there’s a new side that glows; you can’t quite see it until it’s right in front of you, but you’re intrigued by it anyways.

A short and sweet EP.
I was recently fortunate enough to see Japanese Breakfast live on tour, and Mannequin Pussy was their opening set! I hadn’t heard their music before then, but they put on a fantastic performance full of personality and energy, so I figured it would be worth checking them out.
There’s a punk edge to their brand of chaotic, rugged indie rock. Marsia’s impassioned vocal delivery ranges from delicate balladry to hoarse screeches, and the rough mixing adds to the rebellious spunk ... read more
