Alternative/ Art-Rockers MEANWHILE PROJECT LTD Reveal New Single!
The Meanwhile Project Ltd is back! Almost four years after Marseille, a new long player titled Sir Mandrill will be released on May 17th via Kapitän Platte. Today the band released the second single Bumps and Bruises.
The duo around Marcell Birrek and Marcus Adam has now grown into a five-piece band, which presents the new album in the usual opulent and complex way with the support of other guest musicians.
Sir Mandrill once again offers a lush palette of different styles that skilfully mix with each other. Here too, chansons, folk, post pop, indie rock, alternative, ambient and much more merge into a big whole that seems absolutely harmonious all together. Influences from bands as diverse as dEUS, Motorpsycho, the Villagers and Calexico flash here and there. And the impressive voice of singer Marcell alternately wraps everything in a warm coat, admonishing, pleading, shaking up and calming from one moment to the next.
Today the band shares the second single Bumps and Bruises

The band has created a great album that invites you to embark on an intensive musical journey and immerse yourself in it with every listen. With Sir Mandrill, Meanwhile Project Ltd seamlessly follows on from its much-praised predecessor and creates images in the mind that continually alternate without losing sight of the direction.
According to the band, the philosophy behind Sir Mandrill can be summed up as follows: “The album was created at a time in which humanity seems increasingly divided, opinions are drifting further and further apart and most views are perceived categorically as either black or white . For us, the focus is on the question of what essentially defines us as humans and how we are always similar despite all our differences. Sir Mandrill is the wild monkey that lies within each of us and tries, with supposedly civilized behavior, to conceal how thoughtlessly and impetuously we actually think and act.”
