MANEKA DRACULA (FEAT. KATIE CAPRI)

Ex-Speedy Ortiz guitarist Devin McKnight has unveiled the second solo track under his new moniker Maneka. 'Dracula' is a cacophony of heavy-as-hell chorus-laden guitars and unusual chord changes with a distinctive 90s garage vibe, which eventually trail off into oblivion. It's undeniably dark as McKnight shares, “I’m getting older. I’ve got back pains and grey hairs. I started to wonder what it was like for the living dead to never be able to die but just keep getting older and older. It sounds rough.” Despite composing every vocal and instrumental part himself, 'Dracula' also features guest vocals from Katie Capri of the Brooklyn band Fern Mayo. Maneka's debut EP Is You Is is available to pre-order here ahead of its official 1st of September release date. -HLMX
