Mantell are an Australian quartet hailing from the suburbs of Melbourne and ‘Lulu’ is a track lifted from their EP thirty two which comes out tomorrow (October 5th). From the sound of this song they’ve got a firm handle on big emotive indie rock. The key aspect of this track that appeals to us is the restraint they show in not taking the song over the top into bombast. Over a rolling primitive rhythm and strong vocal they let the guitars swell and gracefully erupt in the back part of the song to great effect.
