How it all started…

In the red room, the floors bend backwards.

Rooted in the fog of shoegaze, dreampop and the shadowy shimmer of 80s and 90s alternative rock bands, Mannequin Flowers blur the boundary between visceral intimacy and cinematic surrealism. Comprised of Isadora (Vox/Guitar), Luca (Guitar), Luci (Bass) and Huw (Drums), their sound evokes a sense of unpredictability, while their lyrics challenge conventional narratives with quirky, thought-provoking content (Broken 8 Records).

Mannequin Flowers build their songs like dream sequences, fragmented, immersive and deeply felt. They do not chase catharsis; they let it seep in, slow and strange, making them a band that lingers long after the last note fades.

Debut single “Heartbeat”, written in the quiet of the Brazilian night, offers a modern twist on the heartbreak song, tracing the guilt and uncertainty of unrequited love. Washed in space-like frequencies and swirling guitar, the track moves with quiet intensity, shifting from intimate verses into a chorus that bursts with understated anthemia. Its dynamic charm remains rooted in a dreamy, cinematic haze, drawing early praise from Earmilk, The Big Takeover, Amazing Radio, Broken 8 Records and IndieO’Clock
