Strict Face / Mellow Magic Marker

Debut 7" single. MANS, the London-based indie-rock project of Max Luthy & Muz Azar. Featured in Crack Magazine: "MANS popped up out of nowhere recently to deliver an enchanting piece of chillwave-funk in the form of ‘Strict Face’, a limited edition single available through the newly revived Teeth Records. As a ‘70s-inspired nugget mixing classic R&B with commercial indie-pop, it stands out from the prophesized guitar revival of 2013 for having a far more glamorous aesthetic and a bodacious vocal style whilst remaining restrained and collected enough to get away with a few Prince nuances. There’s a sweetness that underpins it all though, and whether it’s an honest, heartfelt ode to romance or merely a nostalgic throwback, the music here has a rare and sentimental quality. They’ve taken some impressive first steps; don’t be surprised if they’ve got more than a few aces up their sleeves."
