The Manhattan Syndrome – Goodbye Iowa

Goodbye Iowa
The Manhattan Syndrome

Electro-indie band The Manhattan Syndrome release their debut album Goodbye Iowa on 10 April 2020, available to stream or buy directly on Bandcamp.

The Manhattan Syndrome is an Irish five-piece indie-pop band known for crafting contrasts: richly textured soundscapes around an emotional core in single ‘Keepsake’, the gentle piano over thumping tom-heavy drums of ‘The One Thing That Won’t Go Away’, the gradual interlocking of patterns in ‘Syzygy’ and the brute-force riffs of ‘Nova Scotia’. Goodbye Iowa is a force captured in slow motion, a tide-like pulsing of nostalgia, regret and optimism.

All songs written/performed/produced by The Manhattan Syndrome: Anna Murray, Evan Heneghan, Sean Hughes, Jamie McHugh, Pearse Healy. Artwork by Anna Murray/Pearse Healy.

Recorded in Dublin’s Westland Studios, the album was the culmination of years of intense writing, recording and producing, following the release of the band’s debut EP And We Left It Behind. Featuring guest vocals from Valerie Francis.
