Mansun are absolutely the best new band to break out since 1996, combining the styles of the Charlatans, Radiohead, and Suede. They released 5 EPs before releasing their first full length album, ATTACK OF THE GREY LANTERN, in early 1997. It's an incredible album, my 3rd favorite album ever, and one that all fans of Britrock must love! Backed by the worldwide hit single "Wide Open Space," GREY LANTERN got immensely popular, landing the band at the top of the end-of-97 charts and scoring them some moderate commercial success. However, while most bands would've basked in the success of a great album, they chose to continue making music, releasing another 4 EPs and they've just released the remarkable new album SIX, which should earn them more remarkable success based on the single "Being a Girl," among others. Great band!
RECOMMENDED: ATTACK OF THE GREY LANTERN, SIX
