Recorded in caves, crypts, and shopping centres, Mandy, Indiana's debut album i've seen a way is everywhere at once; painstakingly crafted, they thrive in the unexpected - and the resulting album sounds like nothing that has come before it.
Gilla band's Daniel Fox mixed several of the tracks on the album, alongside Robin Stewart (Giant Swan) and the album was mastered by Heba Kedry (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Björk).
