Confluence
Manual ·2008
"There's this new band called Manual on Darla records that a friend of mine turned me on to. They're kind of like a little bit sort of that new gaze, like slow DIY kind of instrumentally kind of thing but also kind of Robin Guthrie, Cocteau Twinsy, and a little bit of sort of ambient electronic. They're really cool, very very nice."
