Tan Mantis

A surf-noir album from John Blakeley (The Sandals) and Ron Nagle, teaming up once again to produce a brand new record that proves they’ve still got the California moxie that got their careers off the ground. Originally hooking up in the late 60’s for Nagle’s cult classic album Bad Rice, the long-time friends found an opportunity to work together again and the result is Tan Mantis, a new album of modern surf-influenced music that mixes the reverb-soaked tones of vintage surf guitar with a chill style to create lush arrangements that highlight the talents of these two remarkable musicians. – O.I.E.
