Maneka new EP released titled bathes and listens

Maneka

bathes and listens

The album’s ambitious denouement, “5225,” is a slowburning build around knotted guitar, steadily crescendoing to a moment of chaotic clarity that centers a boisterous, unexpected solo. “5225” momentarily steers bathes and listens away from its sonic milieu, only to plunge listeners back into the heavy, crunched distortion of the album’s closer “why i play 2k/land back,” concluding on a note that reminds us the land we call ours and pass on through legacy is all stolen. It’s declarative in a way that matches the stylistically focused nature of bathes and listens, the product of McKnight’s choice to allow his strengths to guide his songwriting, resulting in Maneka’s strongest work to date.
