Lookin Round

$10.00

The debut album from Mannequin Shop, raw and self produced with contributions from Roger Baldowski on drums and Erik Mendola on lead guitars. A reflection on various aspects of the journey from living in the US to moving abroad and leaving everything behind.

The record contains an inordinate amount of searing guitar work from Mendola, and some of the first songs I really treated with seriousness - the first songs I rewrote and reworked and revised over and over until I was happy.

I’ve come a long way since these songs but I’m quite proud of this record. It stands as a testament to the moment when I first started to believe I didn’t need anyone’s permission to make and release records.
