Mansionair - Easier

I've been a fan of Mansionair for two years after listening to and falling in love with their song 'Hold me Down'. However, I have recently started to lose hope as the band has been very quiet for the last two years, presumably working on new material. Finally they're back with this stand out record 'Easier' which gives us the first taste of what they have been working on and a sample of what is to come from their debut album. The song reminds me of everything I love about Mansionair's music, the silky vocals combined with a low rumbling bass and bold, progressive synth-like hooks that recall the work of fellow Australian artist Flume. Eric J who has in the past worked with Flume and Chet Faker assisted in the production of this song. 

Anyone who knows me knows I have a soft spot for artists who sing in falsetto, Bon Iver and James Vincent McMorrow being some of my favourite artists. Similarly with Mansionair, lead singer Jack Froggatt is another one of those singer's who's dreamy falsetto tones form the foundation of every Mansionair track, his vocals appearing effortless and creating a faultless, pure and enchanting sound. Multi-insturmentalists Lachlan Bostock and Alex Nicholls form the rest of the band and with only a few songs to their name, it seems Mansionair are already establishing their mastery over the indie electronica genre, with snappy electronic beats and tantalising vocals. It's been a long time coming but after such a long wait from the band, and this being the first taste of what's to come, I am more than ready to see what else they have in store for us.
