Immersing us with a count-in and a luscious, indie-pop soundscape, Elijah Mann opens Bungalow Song with atmospheric vocals and the introspective lyrics, “Another night spent in a bar, whose turn is it to hold it all, witness the shrinking of my bedroom walls, so small…”
The opus expands into an escapist narrative as Elijah Mann sings about buying a bungalow upstate, making love and finding peace with his muse.
We first wrote about Elijah Mann when he released the celestial ode to grief and goodbyes with his new single, Dust Storm Darlin’, so we appreciate the depth and synergy of Bungalow Song, which is in line with his sonic tapestry, with a different narrative.
Speaking candidly on the meaning of the release, Elijah Mann tells us that Bungalow Song is about “how none of us will ever be able to afford real estate”, but there is also a very inspiring element to help us visualise and manifest the future that we want.
Elijah Mann is an NYC-based electro-folk singer and songwriter. Originally from Connecticut, he has made a name for himself in indie music scenes from LA to Austin and New England as a powerhouse performer with a knack for introspective lyrics.
His cover of Carly Rae Jepsen’s Cut To The Feeling has gained critical acclaim and has now reached over 1.3 million Spotify streams. Now based in New York, Mann has featured at iconic venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Heaven Can Wait, and The Bowery Electric.
We love the authenticity and charm that Elijah Mann shares with his artistry, and have added Bungalow Song to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream his wider discography including Cut to the Feeling!
