Mannequin Shop spent most of last year releasing what amounted to theatrical gag songs, albeit with rich arrangements, careful lyricism, and some stunning guitar work.

Now they’re out with the first single from the forthcoming Tattoo EP - the acoustic-driven, country-infused “I Can See It Now”.

A straightforward love song on the surface, it holds some ominous notes for the rest of the record still to come.  “I can see it now” can be read in a couple of different ways, and the rosiness of this song’s outlook rather depends on how you interpret that phrase. 

The track features some impeccable pedal steel and lead guitar work by Ben Holst of Atlanta, GA as well as rich harmonies and a shimmery groove. This record promises to be a memorable piece of the Americana landscape in 2025.
