When I first heard MNDR sing with Mark Ronson & The Business Intl on his summer single, "Bang Bang Bang", I knew Amanda Warner and her partner Pete Wade were a duo set to take the electronic music world by storm. A failed attempt at seeing them perform over the summer (their show at Echoplex in Silverlake was cancelled) only made me more determined to hear more of what they had been working on apart from Ronson, which led me to listen to E.P.E., MNDR's first EP. They have only officially released about 6 songs to date, but their music has made a huge impression on me. "Caligula" is one of those songs you can listen to 10 times over and not get sick of it, and songs like "Fade To Black" and "Cut Me Out" strike me as instant hits. As of now I'm just waiting for them to really take off, not that they haven't already done incredibly well for not having an LP out (they are currently on a mostly sold-out tour with Chromeo and have been all over Pitchfork the past month or so). If you haven't listened to MNDR's music, do yourself a favor and download their music off of iTunes, especially "Cut Me Out" and "Caligula". Listen to "Cute Me Out" below and see for yourself:
