Preying Mantis is an experimental electro-pop band from Kolkata, India. 

Begun as a bedroom project in 2015 producing covers for amusement, the Mantis sound has since grown into a blend of widely varying musical influences, electronica and social awkwardness. 

Their debut EP 'I Eat You Eat Me' embraces this awkwardness as a step towards breaking away from it, using high levels of sonic nitpicking and musical nerdiness.
