Mini Mansions showcase new track ‘Any Emotions’ featuring Brian Wilson

The band have recruited the Beach Boy for their latest offering.

Mini Mansions will be releasing new album ‘The Great Pretenders’ in March and now, they’ve unveiled another track taken from it.

‘Any Emotions’ is the second cut to be taken from their forthcoming second full-length, and also boasts some rather high-profile guest vocals from The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson.

Speaking of their work with Wilson in a press release, the band’s bassist Zach Dawes has said: “The idea of working with Brian started after I did a session with him playing bass on a track for his record. We got along great and I went straight to Vox Studios from that session where the boys were doing vocals for ‘Any Emotions.’ As they got into harmonies Brian’s name came up kind of as a pie in the sky idea. I followed up with him and sent him a rough cut of the song. Then that rare moment occurred where the idealised version of something becomes a reality and Brian Wilson served up an endless helping of apple pie a la mode. We are forever grateful for his presence, genius, and generosity.”

The trio have showcased a video for the track too, which was directed by Mike Harris and stars actor Colin Hanks, expressing exactly what the song’s title implies.

The new track comes from the band’s forthcoming effort, which will be released on 23rd March through T Bone Burnett’s Electromagnetic Recordings/Fiction Records.
