James Domestic Reveals New Single & Video “Mañana”

Mañana is the third single from Carrion Repeating, the forthcoming album from James Domestic (The Domestics / PI$$ER / Tokyo Lungs), the track sees Domestic taking another sonic direction, further highlighting his joyful eclecticism. Mañana has a low-slung, chugging garage-punk feel replete with dub sirens, saxophone and steel drums, it also sees the vocal return of Clare Gillet from the Push On Through single and features Eddie O’Toole (PI$$ER / The Filaments / The Shitty Limits) on saxophone. All of this sounds like it’d be an unbearable mess, but somehow it comes together effortlessly into a great four minute pop song, evoking the spirit of a lo-fi, garage rock version of British ska pop-heroes, Madness, in its inventive way with a catchy hook and unconventional mix of instruments.

A paean to taking your foot off the gas and letting things slide, or a warning of the perils of procrastination, perhaps? It’s hard to tell whether Mañana is meant to serve as a confessional regarding Domestic’s own perceived lack of willpower, or a celebration of idleness.  It could be either of these things; and that’s one of its many joys. The Carrion Repeating album will be released on vinyl and digital formats in April 2022 via Kibou Records and TNSrecords in the UK and Amok Records in Germany.
