Mandy, Indiana - URGH

Mar 5

English/French quartet Mandy, Indiana’s second album URGH was informed by a period of both physical and emotional strain.

While the band were working on the record drummer Alex Macdougall underwent surgery for a hernia and later had half of his thyroid removed.

Meanwhile, vocalist Valentine Caulfield was dealing with a condition that caused significant vision loss in one eye.

The experiences unfolded alongside long, demanding recording sessions, and understandably inform the album’s focus.

Rather than softening their approach, Mandy, Indiana have emerged with a more deliberate and refined sound.
