THE MANX + Ghettoblaster Magazine

"The video tells a tale of God’s controlling ways, countered by Satan’s teaching Man how to party, followed by the eventual murder of God and creation of 'Slug People.'"

Watch the video for “Plasmatic Debris (Tommy Meehan Remix)”, via Ghettoblaster Magazine, here.

Animated and slime-slathered, The Manx have morphed over time from an acoustic folk-punk three piece into their current form- an explosive, bubble-fueled, arcade-amped quintet featuring obscure instruments, cartoon stylings, and their own wonky lexicon. They are a surrealist, experimental punk act made up of full-time animators and artists for networks including Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Studios, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. Cynical and gritty but simultaneously whimsical, exotic uptempo orchestrations feature eccentricities such as the electric accordion, electric banjo, and upright bass. The Manx manifest an incredibly adrenalized, uniquely eclectic sound influenced by music ranging from GWAR, to The Locust, to They Might Be Giants.

This release is off of Mystery Skum and The Odyssey of Goo, which is a collection of previously unreleased tracks, remixes, reinterpretations, guest spots, and noise experiments, created as a companion to the avant-garde punk act's last LP, Voyage in Bad Taste. Guest features include Justin Roiland of Rick and Morty, Buzz Osborne (The Melvins), Ryan Kattner (Man Man, Honus Honus), JR Slayer aka Cody Votolato (Blood Brothers, Head Wound City), as well as many other respected artists.
Mystery Skum and The Odyssey of Goo will be released on limited edition slime green cassette (limited to 200) as well as digitally. Preorder link here.
