“I know my headphones really well" - Manic Pixxies
Manic Pixxies came together November 2020, no way to really rehearse, no plan and not a proper musical background from everyone. Still, few months later with now a temporary band room, “Dream Girl” was born. Half the band did not know one another prior to being called to join Manic Pixxies. This way our friendship grew the way the music grew. From raw teen-angst and anger sounds to a group of close friends whose life is sprawled out into these songs. A close friend called our sound “Dream Punk” and it stuck. It’s like a mix of 90’s indie rock, alternative influences and a whole bunch of stuff that might not be completely related but we just like. Through this, we get songs full of raw energy and melodies, that just show the joy and pain of making music and going through life together.
“I know my headphones really well” has been almost 4 years in the making. Some of these songs are truly 4 or 5 years old, now modified and properly played, but with that same banter and soul. The albums name is the best way we could encapsulate the process and what making these songs meant for us (thank you Casey!). You and your headphones have such an intimate relationship, they’ve heard everything you’ve ever wanted to enjoy, hide or dedicate your attention to. Pulling out you headphones to listen to something means you make effort to properly listen. But with different headphones, things are heard slightly differently. Maybe you can feel the sorrow or the excitement 10 fold with the right pair FOR YOU!
The album opens up with effervescent songs like “Blue Carpet”, “Fall to pieces” and “Cl!t" where you can let all that pent up energy go and then wraps their arms around you like a comforting friend with the longing felt in songs like “Snowfall”, “Virgin Records” and “Winter”. To properly experience it, you do need, to know your headphones really well.
