Jessica Hopper at The Chicago Reader wrote up a piece on MNDR in anticipation for the sold out show with Yacht at The Empty Bottle on February 27th.
MNDR is Amanda Warner, who has voyaged from Portland to Minneapolis to Oakland to Brooklyn, along the way studying jazz bass at Macalester College, backing Sean “Har Mar Superstar” Tillman in his project Sean Na Na, playing winsome, toothy indietronica with Triangle, and wrecking brains in the Bay Area art-rave scene.
