Wax Mannequin

Label: Coqi Records/Cincinnati Record
Wax Mannequin is one man from Hamilton, Ontario who plays guitar and sings and has a pet drum and bass machine. If you go to the concerts, you can get jimmy points, which are very nice to have because you can trade them for superpowers. and who doesn't need superpowers?
-----------------------------------
Wax Mannequin's skill as a songsmith and a performer are immediate, his vocal range and control startling. Anthemic, whimsical and faintly ominous, the songs balance absurdity and profundity, and can silence audiences like little else. Wax Mannequin's albums meld spidery finger-picked classical airs, sturdy rock riffs and cricketing electronic mites and motes with indelible melodies and lyrical dreamspeak that resonate in heart and head. They recall music that never was: the intersection of Another Green World-era Eno and Nursery Cryme-era Genesis, a lost collaboration between Nick Drake and Edward Gorey, or the ghost of Freddie Mercury channeled by Crispin Glover.
