Springbrook, Pennsylvania, June 2, 2009 - Springbrook, PA independent
artist Jimmy Mancus has never been one to adhere to the unwritten
rules of the singer/songwriter genre. Foregoing the copy-cat, soft-
rock that floods today's scene, Mancus brings an eclectic blend of
styles and sounds to the table with his soon-to-be-released, new
album, "Move Down".
The album's 14 tracks, encompassing elements of rock, pop, surf,
indie, funk, reggae and hip-hop, come together to create a record that
can be called anything but your "run-of-the-mill, singer/songwriter
album." Keeping the commercially-popular ballads to a minimum,
Mancus's songs explore a multitude of topics (examples include the
rock-driven "Cinnamon", a track dealing with the dangers and
temptations of addiction; "Come Join the Tea Party", a seven-minute,
cliff-notes-like version of "Alice in Wonderland"; and "The King", a
playful, folk/rock number chronicling a fictitious ruler's life-long
search for love). However, in addition to his unique lyrics and guitar
style, Mancus had an Ace up his sleeve, one that would ultimately help
to solidify his singular sound.
Straight from the LBC, RasMG/"Field" Marshall Goodman, DJ and
songwriter for the multi-platinum selling band SUBLIME and the star-
studded reggae outfit, Long Beach Dub All-Stars, brought the signature
flavor of Southern California's dub/hip-hop scene to Mancus's new
album. Goodman, one of music's finest DJ/turntablists, layed down
dynamic scratch work on three tracks, "Sugar", "Orange Everwood" and
the album's first single "Give It Up". The result is a fusion of
sounds that hearkens back to the days of SUBLIME and their songs like,
"What I Got" and "Smoke Two Joints".
"Move Down" was produced by Clyde Rosencrance, who also serves as the
album's primary electric/lead player. Other key players include Lenny
Mecca on bass guitar, Eli Hludzik on drums, Matt Nakoa on keys/piano
and Tom Borthwick on hammond organ.
"Move Down" will be released on August 4, 2009. The album will be
available thru Mancus's official website and all major online
retailers like itunes, amazon.com and cdbaby.
