Listen: MANKIND – “Blood, Sugar”

22 November 2013, 12:45 | Written by Lauren Down

To hell with classic song structures. With nothing but a snort, a yelp and short, sharp squeal for warning MANKIND’s “Blood, Sugar” launches into the kind of frenzied mess it usually takes a whole song to build toward. A shock to the system not unlike a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart, “Blood, Sugar”s cacophonous opening soon levels out, as much as a garage band ever could.

What follows is a twisted, controlled chaos: The stockholm four-piece creating a gritty, sweat drenched underground track that taps into grunge pop anthemics with ease. An album’s worth of material has apparently been recorded and is on its way, after of course Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Three Trapped Tigers) has finished producing it.
