Brooklyn with Manic Sheep - An Interview


Diretamente de Taiwn vem o quarteto Manic Sheep que soltou mês passado seu segundo trabalho "Brooklyn" um delicioso noisepop bubblegum remetendo a vários subgêneros da música independe, pedaços de class of 86 aqui e ali, shoegaze no meio de tudo, dreampop explodindo pra todos os lados e sempre com aquele frescor pop cantarolável.

Certamente poucos irão degustar dessa delícia sonora, mas eu sugiro que se você esta simplesmente afim de curtir o dia/noite, escute alto e preferencialmente nos seus fones de ouvido, vai fazer todo o sentido.

***** Interview with Manic Sheep *****


Q. When did Manic Sheep start? Tell us about the history...
We started from 2010, at first, it was a solo project from Chris Lo (the lead women of manic sheep), then she found the other band member through internet. Our first debut album "Manic Sheep" out in 2012, because of too much tour, so we changed member quite often in that period.
