The Story
In the red room, the floors bend backwards.
Rooted in the fog of shoegaze, dreampop and post-punk, Mannequin Flowers are Isadora (vocals/guitar), Luca (guitar), Luci (bass) and Huw (drums). Their music evokes a sense of danger and unpredictability. Lyrically, they challenge conventional narratives through thought-provoking content on love, anxiety, and modernity.
Formed out of a shared fixation on 90s shoegaze and 70s post-punk, their 2024 singles Heartbeat and Drunken Carousel earned praise from Earmilk, The Big Takeover, Amazing Radio and Broken 8 Records, with airplay on independent stations across the UK and US. In 2025, Validation and Six Words expanded their sound with darker post-punk textures, with continued support from Get in Her Ears and independent radio across the UK and US.
"Heartbeat is an emotional journey that dives deep into feelings, exploring vulnerability and strength, as if the music is trying to understand what it means to be human."

"Their music evokes a sense of danger and unpredictability, while their lyrics challenge conventional narratives with quirky, thought-provoking content."
