In the Man Man Progress Report I described the sprawling elegance of the title track to their upcoming album Life Fantastic, and frontman Ryan Kattner mentioned the song’s “…40-second Steve Vai shredding guitar solo in a chaotic break down at the the climax.” “Life Fantastic” really does show off many of the strange bedfellows that make the album a big step forward for Man Man — the line inside the song about “chaos and beauty” could describe the song itself, as much as it applies to “Life Fantastic”‘s morbid description of finding a corpse during a family picnic. Listen and download the song below:

Excellent, I am looking forward to this one. The piano-groove reminds me a bit of Spoon’s “Written in Reverse.”
Now I know that I’ve been listening to too much of the two Mister Heavenly tracks because I basically imagined hearing Nick Diamonds in there singing backup vocals on the chorus (the “Life… Fantastic…” part).
YEAH.
That guy right there^.
Yeah, that one^.
He’s a crack whore.
Awesome tune. Thanks for giving us another sample of your musical magic.
wow i love it!
ah. gone is the ‘recorded in a room’ sound and the interesting clash of ideas that made Man Man so interesting. Thanks a lot, Mike Mogis. Thanks for drenching everything with a thick, sloppy coat of the “Bright Eyes Treatment”.
On behalf of Ryan Kattner and the Man Man gang,
I truly am sorry Evan. Maybe I could stop by and pick up some tips on how to be as hip as you sometime? you know…..when you get a minute.
