"‘Better Way to Think of It’ delves into the complexities experienced in a relationship strained by distance
" The Manatees muse. "MGMT-inspired bass synths and glitchy vocoder fill the verses
with the choruses dedicated to the hook that lays at the heart of the song. It’s a guilty pleasure for us
a modern indie ear worm that doesn’t take itself too seriously. A much needed respite after a debut EP which was introspective and darker in tone."

This much is true - that 'Dream In Colour' EP came out in April and openly tackled the anxieties of finding your feet in an ever-changing world
emphasising the desperateness and loneliness of growing up. Yet even this couldn't quell The Manatees' hyper-popping genre-hopping essence rare
inspiring sold out shows at The Victoria and Sebright Arms and warranting a Jack Saunders Next Wave interview on BBC Radio One as well as much love from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6music.

Next up comes a second big-hearted EP release on the panda and these big-trousered live shows here:
