Биография

Post-emo pioneers Frame and Mantle formed in 2014 in northwest Pennsylvania. Now based in Pittsburgh, the band's 2016 release 'While Our Fields Lie Fallow' and 2019 release 'Lost Under Nighttime Sky' embraced both post-rock builds and textures and emo-indebted urgency. The band's most recent release, 2023's 'Above a Burning World' EP, retains the band’s signature sprawling, dynamic sound while also aiming for something more direct and focused. Born of COVID-era ruminations, 'Above a Burning World' finds the band turning to formative influences such as Armor For Sleep, Thursday, and Balance and Composure for inspiration. In a marked departure from the hopeful embrace of uncertainty of Lost Under Nighttime Sky, this new EP deals in raw emotion, with darker themes and apocalyptic imagery abound. Frame and Mantle once again teamed up with Matt Very (Code Orange, Heart Attack Man, Short Fictions) at Very Tight Recordings to bring these compositions to life. The result is a set of songs that hint at new sonic directions to come for the band. Frame and Mantle is: Connor Freer - vocals/guitars/horns Brian Thompson - guitars Mark Thompson - drums Scott Gergelis - bass
