Mandy, Indiana sign to Sacred Bones and announce their new album, URGH, 

out February 6th, with lead single “Magazine.” On URGH, Mandy, Indiana is a 

force of uncanny nature, grafting together a record that is as much a call 

to action as a parlay into oblivion and transcendence. Following their 

acclaimed 2023 debut, i’ve seen a way, URGH finds the band expanding their 

far-reaching sound with each member – vocalist Valentine Caulfield, 

guitarist and producer Scott Fair, synth player Simon Catling, and drummer 

Alex Macdougall – actively taking part in the songwriting process. Across 

ten tracks, Mandy, Indiana interpolate their own unconventional language 

into a mantra for self-determination and resilience, forging a template for 

a brighter future before it fades to black. 

 

Much of URGH was written during an intense residency at an eerie studio 

house in the outskirts of Leeds, then recorded across Berlin and Greater 

Manchester. The process was shaped by adversity with both Caulfield and 

Macdougall undergoing multiple rounds of surgeries in the same time frame 

as the album was being written and recorded. The harrowing experience and 

the exhaustion of their respective recoveries bleed into the surreality of 

Caufield’s writing, blurring the line between inner turmoil and external 

chaos. 

 

URGH is deeply personal, yet also reflects the violent, fractured state of 

the wider world as Caulfield’s lyrics grapple with assault, systemic 

indifference, and the omnipresence of pain. While most of the lyrics are in 

her native French, the emotional clarity cuts through regardless of 

language. Caulfield still uses her voice as a distorted instrument and a 

weapon, oscillating between equal parts playful and eviscerating, showcased 

on today’s single, “Magazine.” The throbbing siren-sound of the song finds 

the band garnering drama from the juxtaposition of quiet moments and 

explosive commotion as Caufield sings in French: “Abandon / All hope / 

Because tonight / I’m coming for you.” The accompanying visualiser was 

directed by Stephen Agnew.
