We Are Human

Under The Snow

Qual is Lebanon Hanover’s bassist and vocalist William Maybelline.  
With his solo project he aims to examine his personal view on music, Maybelline moved from the pop touch of well-known and respected main band of his to cruise the slums of darker and even more extreme electronics.  To quote William's own words, Qual is about vile visions, despaired in a frowning black tower of pain. Concealed yearns of a desolate heart, trying to scratch that unscratchable rotting itch from within. Centuries of sorrow drenched in gloomy electronics that palpitate like human passions. A call for help.  
Debut album Sable is available on LP/CD/Digital.

QUARZO

REVENGE CRIME [+E]

ivory dreams seek me out
fill my mind with skeptic doubt
poaching from a silent pride
embracing the screams and cries

you wait, hiding in your rage
in a mutual binding cage
i have a skeleton key
that lets your loving eyes bleed

sabotaging fragile peace
to let us fly, roaming free
rash reactions clouding trust
raining behind horizon's lust

forever your hand in mine
breathe my love into your mind
again I become sublime
time stands still to slow our shine
time stands still to slow our shine
forever your hand in mine

in our minds we're bulletproof
out the well we haul the truth
lucky clovers fill our fields
syncing up with wounds we heal

licking scars until they fade
simmer under waves of hate
mimicking our jealous hell
executed where I fell

in despair I etch your name
into chasms; beckoned, tamed
a runaway flees
without being chased

forever your hand in mine
breathe my love into your mind
again I become sublime
time stands still to slow our shine
forever your lips onto mine
breathe my hate into the sky
again I try to seek and hide
distance fills our bows with lies

forever your hand in mind

MNQ 034 VARIOUS - THE END OF CIVILIZATION LP

Mannequin has the dual and parallel aim to unearth hidden or unpublished gems, running along a road that starts from the period of reference for this kind of music (late 70s – mid 80s) and comes to nowdays, with a vision deeply influence by Factory Records / 4AD labels. 

Catching the same spirit of such great labels, we asked to the italian synth wave princess Mushy to create a compilation starting from a tabula rasa. The mission was hard. Following her tastes and heart, she had to select a dozen of new bands from all over the world with unreleased and unique for this project tracks, picking up the title and realizing the graphic design and artwork. The full process of "The End Of Civilization" took almost 1 year but the result was touching us ￼deep into our soul. 

Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth sound, having both "Faded Heart" (2011) and "Breathless" (2012) as album of the week at Rough Trade. "The End Of Civilization" perfectly represents her double sided synth-wave / kraut-psychedelic soul. Every track she selected for us is an absolute highlight, moving from the analog minimal / cold wave sounds of Police Des Moeurs, ASSS, The Circa Tapes, TEEEL and Rosemary to the tempestuous post punk and psychedelia of Deathday, The Murder Act, Phosphor and The Strange Forces, ending with spectral cold folk of Tablets and The Long Wives.
