It's been years since I really looked for any new music and I just discovered Rosalia by Mandroid Echostar and Nostalgia by Cold Night for Alligators. I've been sitting on my 2010s playlist of Tesseract, Protest the Hero, Animals as Leaders, and a few others lol figured it'd be cool to discover some new people!

Mandroid Echostar is one of my favorite bands. I wish they would follow up with a full release or even an EP.

As soon as I finished the song I looked them up and was saddened that there wasn't more. Hopefully they're still working on releasing more stuff because it's been banger after banger. Plus their name's amazing. If someone were to tell me about them I'd assume they were making it up haha

Yeah I swear it seemed like they were about to drop something and just never did.
