Mandy, Indiana Shares Frenetic ‘Cursive’ Single

Noise rock group Mandy, Indiana released a new single, “Cursive.” The track is the second preview of the Manchester, England-born band’s forthcoming album, URGH, arriving February 6 via Sacred Bones.

Mandy, Indiana is Parisian vocalist Valentine Caulfield, guitarist/producer Scott Fair, synth player Simon Catling and drummer Alex Macdougall. Following their 2023 debut album I’ve Seen a Way, URGH sees the band taking a more collaborative approach in terms of composing, as the latest single, “Cursive,” reflects.

“‘Cursive’ is probably our most collaborative track to-date,” Catling said. “Whilst Scott and Valentine often offer the initial impetus behind most of our songs, ‘Cursive’ was built up from a number of Alex’s rhythmic sketches and my bass sequence. Valentine added her vocals later and Scott worked to sculpt these elements together. It was exciting having everyone bring their own ideas to the table from the off, throwing them together and seeing what could come out of it — a bit of a step into the unknown for us as a band.”

“Cursive” arrived with an accompanying music video directed by Stephen Agnew. Watch below:
