Mainland – Savant

New York band Mainland play the sort of hooky melodies first, jabby guitars second; closely followed next by casual impetuousness and general nonchalance formula that’s proven out for bands like The Strokes and Postelles. The excellent Jim Eno-produced (Spoon) “Savant” is the lead single from Mainland’s upcoming self-released EP “Shiner” due February 25.
