New EP & Video From Mannequins On 7th Street (Support From Vice/ NME/ Acid Stag/ Disco Naivete)

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Mannequins on 7th Street are songwriter/vocalist Alexandre Lambrecht and producer Tim de Fontaine. Their tracks are pristine and polished; each subsequent offering has been a subtle refinement of their melancholy sound, which feels right at home with people like British heavy-weights the xx and darker, brooding electronic based music.

Formed whilst still at school in the fall of 2012 at the jazz studio in Antwerp, Belgium, the duo quickly realized they had a lot in common with both their musical influences and ambitions. "we started playing together and found out we also wanted to create the same atmosphere; that there was a whole universe of music we shared." Incredibly, the track 'Wailing Of Hesione' was created the first time they played together.

The name Mannequins on 7th Street comes from a collection of poetry by Tamar Yoseloff. The meaning is not to be taken literally, but rather as an ambience. Very much inspired by the chaos in cities; the way people race by without giving much thought to what surrounds them; people's looks lingering in the void, avoiding each other's eyes; people being alone among an immensity; personalities blurred by consumerism and advertising; to a stereo-type of the body and way of life imposed by society; how meaningless and powerless we feel; "all dressed up, and nowhere to go." mannequins are a kind of metaphor for this life that we look up to in the western world, but perhaps there isn't much to look up to after all.
