I figured we should start the week off a little bit slow, as no one really needs to jump right into things on a Monday.  I’m bringing you this great slow burner from Mandrax Icon, who just released his latest album on cassette via our friends overseas at Cakes and Tapes (also on vinyl via Nostril Records). I just love the vocals of singer Marcio, who apparently did all the work on the entire album, Mary Climbed the Ladder for the Sun.  It’s definitely an album with a folk leaning, with hidden gems of touching melody scattered about.  I really hope you’ll like this as much as I do.
