    The music is abrasive, but in its most shocking moments, the band allows beauty to shine through the grime and static.

    ‘i’ve seen a way’ sees the band marching down their own path, and it’s one worth following.

    An album with bangers like Drag [Crashed] is easily redeemed, however, and I’ve Seen A Way winds up being the most exciting debut in recent times, recommended for fans of the electronic and the industrial.

    Start with the bangers – and there are plenty, mostly front-loaded. ... It’s a visceral and strange album, one that revels in its abstractions, but is direct in what it has to say.

    You might not always know what they are saying but the wails in “Iron Maiden” and foreboding synths of “(Crystal Aura Redux)” don’t need translating. The bleak production and relentless beats should keep us dancing all the way through the apocalypse. [Jun 2023, p.54]

    Mandy, Indiana never lose sight of their aesthetic and existential north star, despite how convincingly they navigate despair.

    Mandy, Indiana clearly make music with the intention to disrupt, confront, and force the listener to question society's ethics, and their first album succeeds at all of these points.

    It’s surprising, but oddly delightful.

    As much as the likes of "Injury Detail" and "Peach Fuzz" evoke Clock DVA and early Psychic TV at their most unnerving, the group nevertheless achieve a grimy grandeur that feels modern, too. [Jun 2023, p.32]

    An interesting project to follow up. There is clear an enthusiastic domain on the aura, ambient, experimentation and direction of the concept,An interesting project to follow up. There is clear an enthusiastic domain on the aura, ambient, experimentation and direction of the concept, which is very much appreciated, yet this also feels a lot like a compilation of ideas that, hopefully, we can hear them laid down in a more solid ground later, and explored in, maybe, more accessible or surprising ways.
