Dave Hartley’s solo project Nightlands releases Forget the Mantra on vinyl today via Secretly Canadian! Keep snatching up our artists, record labels. We love it! It’s nice to see our man who keeps it tight on the low-end for one of our faves The War on Drugs getting his time in the spotlight. Building hypnotic soundscapes with collages of sampled conversations, glorious beats, delicately layered computer generated sounds, and angelic choir-like vocals, Hartley creates an experimental album that you can easily lose yourself in. Still refusing to dust off that old record player? What’s wrong with you? Lucky Forget the Mantra is digitally available here for a super reasonable five bucks! Just grab your copy already and crank it up to eleven with that special nug you’ve been saving. – The Deli Staff
