The band boasts no less than eleven releases in their discography, and they show little sign of slowing down. Formed in 2008 in the far reaches of Humboldt County, \u003ci\u003eWhite Manna\u003c\/i\u003e have established themselves as one of the leaders of the modern psychedelic movement. Their mix of punked-up space rock riffs and laid back cosmiche vibes have always set \u003ci\u003eWhite Manna\u003c\/i\u003e apart from their contemporaries, and success has taken them as far away as England, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe band is comprised of David Johnson (guitar, vocals, and keyboards), Johnny Webb (bass), Anthony Taibi (guitar, vocals, and keyboards), and Tavan Anderson (drums, vocals).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimilar Artists:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarlton Melton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCULT OF DOM KELLER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Myrrors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFöllakzoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEternal Tapestry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLumerians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKungens Män\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibravoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"first-welcome","title":"First Welcome","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFirst Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e is the eighth full length album from the ever evolving, veteran psychonauts White Manna. White Manna's longevity as one of the leaders of the modern psychedelic movement is attributed to their willingness to introduce new elements to their sonic repertoire. Initially, these moves were subtle, but as the band has moved on through the years, these moves have become much more pronounced, always leaving listeners wondering what is in store for them as new releases are announced. So, here we are with \u003ci\u003eFirst Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e, an album that features warbled country leanings, airy blooms of ambience, and occasional hints of a German yesteryear, all implemented into the band's signature hazy and spacey mosaic of sound. None of these developments are unexpected, as they do build off of their previous album ARC, but here we see the band expand these elements and really make them their own. It should be noted that \u003ci\u003eFirst Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e is a product of the COVID era, with much of the recording happening in quarantine or while socially distanced. The band's process relied on communicating via email and sending music files back and forth. For White Manna this made the world of COVID both more fun and challenging, and they used the opportunity to get friends in different places to overdub tracks. Backing vocals and slide guitar were recorded while camping in the Mojave Desert. The saxophone was recorded in Liverpool. England. The trumpet sounds and some of the passages on the Rhodes were laid down in Northern California, and much of the vocals, piano, and synthesizer tracks were recorded in Costa Rica. As a result, the sound of \u003ci\u003eFirst Welcome\u003c\/i\u003e is reflective of the circumstances of these contemplative times. White Manna is recommended for listeners of everything from Hawkwind to Harmonia - and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cardinal Fuzz","offers":[{"title":"Green | LP","offer_id":50460628681035,"sku":"1139652","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b4369b6b-c2f5-4ef6-8dc5-a87150336dea_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727235697"},{"product_id":"pan-1","title":"Pan","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter a series of staggering albums, White Manna return to Earth with a new album of white hot solar rock on Cardinal Fuzz \/ Captcha. Named after the mischievous nature god from Greek mythology, Pan finds White Manna peaking, whipped into shape by touring a ferocious live set, as witnessed at Liverpool Psych Fest by many fans who joined the band in a head popping frenzy as they soaked in the intensity of White Manna. Pan is the next logical step for White Manna, as tracks flow from guitar blasting amplifier destroying worship to super-cosmische space rock epics and then comes back for more ferocious Stooges pounding fuzzed up Hawkwind inspired freak flag waving wildness. Inspired by the Northern Californian landscape, the natural mystic of 'Pan' is informed by, as guitarist David Johnson states, \"...the trees, beaches, and open spaces where we live are all integral parts of our approach to music.\" The album recording was dialled in at the Compound Manila and laid to tape at Lucky Cat Recording by the legendary Phil Manley.
