Double Slit

On their brand new debut single «Sunshine Crawlers» Norwegian newcomers Haunted Mansions bring warmth and understated confidence to their hiphop-inspired indie weirdness. The Trondheim-based duo's  first offering is full of insistent pop hooks, and is a great introduction to their sound. 

Haunted Mansions namecheck Portugal The Man, Danger Mouse and Gorillaz when asked to describe their music and while those artists have inspired Haunted Mansions it's clear to all that they bring their own flavour to the music as well. 

The song combines old-school hiphop beats, almost shimmering acoustic guitars, textured synths and weird, smoky and infectious vocals to perfection. «Sunshine Crawlers» is seductive in all it’s gloom, mildly psychedelic and strongly melodic, but most of all just really great. 

It’s a song about social injustice, about realizing that the world is blindingly unfair and that there really isn’t that much hope to be found. Still, there are undertones of resistance, a subdued call to arms. The last chorus rises above the gloom and asks «Who’s laughing now» as it perhaps finds an ever so slight glimmer of light in the enveloping darkness of modern society.

Thomas: "We had been flirting with the idea of writing songs and starting a band together for a long time, and it just sort of happened one day. As Vegard was leaving my studio he heard the initial demo for Sunshine Crawlers with no vocals from the hallway, and went back with an old melody of his, that just fit the song. From there everything just fell into place and the song was incredibly easy to complete. It is the first song we wrote together."
