There is no doubt, socks and sandals are in, and Man Sandal are set to make 2021 a big one. All five members have been raised in the thriving WA music ecosystem, forming the band at an early age. Folk and jazz influences weave through an alternative sound of lush string and brass textures, an emotive push, and raw joy. Since adding fifth member Julia Wallace, the band’s energy and emphasis has shifted up a gear, their craft growing with each release. Two EPs and multiple singles have seen them forge a faithful live following, including sets at Nannup Music Festival, Fairbridge Festival, and WAMFest. Nominated for WAM Song of the Year in 2017 and 2020, Man Sandal have also been featured on Triple J Unearthed, and supported Noah Dillon on his regional tour dates in early 2020. It was during this tour the band wrote and recorded part of their debut full-length release Chess Club, coming in June 2021. The shores of the Southern Ocean provided the backdrop for an album of earnest and direct songwriting, wet with emotion, energy, and depth.
