Interview: Mansions
Christopher Browder, the brainchild of the lo-fi indie-rock band Mansions, was kind enough to answer some of our questions a couple of weeks after his much anticipated, critically acclaimed sophomore album 'Dig Up the Dead', a record that sees a refined version of Mansions coming into play, and sees Browder combining fuzzy guitars with his trademark vocals and relatable lyrics. The album is the follow up to 'New Best Friends', a record that saw Browder play shows alongside The Get Up Kids and John Nolan.Christopher was kind enough to speak to ATP! about the progression he made from his debut album, how 'Dig Up The Dead' developed, upcoming tour plans including his forthcoming tour with Ace Enders, his Manbox collaboration with Weatherbox's Brian Warren and more.
Alter The Press: 'New Best Friends' tackled a lot of themes to do with friendships and relationships. How would you say your songwriting has developed since you were 22?
Mansions: I'm probably the worst person to answer this, it's hard for me to tell since it's always just small, incremental changes. But I think my writing now is a little more mature and subtle. A little more introspective and less finger-pointy. This new record is less about relationships and more about issues I was thinking about. It's more in my head, like conversations with myself or different parts of myself. I like to think that my writing isn't so melodramatic now. Like instead of yelling at someone or crying loudly, it's a little quieter, more of a sigh and a shrug. People keep saying this record is really dark, which is funny to me because I thought it was the most optimistic thing I had ever written. But I guess my writing has always had a sad vibe to it, and probably will for a while at least.
Album Review: Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
Mansions' first record was a criminally underrated piece of emo singer-songwriter mastery (I use the word 'emo' as a loose term for emotional by the way). 'New Best Friends' evoked the rage of Brand New's 'Deja Entendu' and combined it with heart-wrenching stories, evoking a war against the opposite gender as well as the pop sensibilities of a pop record. Due to the off the radar nature of the debut album and a brief EP with Weatherbox, which was also as overlooked, there was a slight panic that this album would not be released, would Mansions be a one time thing? Thankfully the album was picked up and is to be released via Burning House Records.New Mansions Song
