Official press release:
Four years after their uncompromising debut Athletic Statics (Fidel Bastro, 2020), German noise rock force TRAINER are set to unleash their second full-length, Oh, Mandy!, in mid-2025. Oh, Mandy! is more than a follow-up – it’s a declaration of intent. Expect controlled demolition in sound form.
TRAINER bring back their signature sound: pummeling, intricate drums, stoic machine-like beats, howling guitars, filthy, fractured riffs, and vocals that swing from laid-back cool to ecstatic screams — all served without a bass guitar in sight. The result? A jagged mix of garage’n’roll, experimental noise rock, and angular No Wave chaos.
Oh, Mandy! track listing:
- “Powietrze (Prolog)”
- “New Economy Symptoms”
- “Mandy”
- “Ona što go pravime e tajno”
- “The Chinese Fiancée”
- “Variations on a theme by Harry Pussy”
- “Jesús Chabrol Guitar”
- “I would have said ‘fuck you'”
- “Mammoth”
- “National Pride (Interlude)”
- “My Worms”
- “Plattenbau”
- “Verval”
- “El Luchador Nihilista (Epilogo)”
