Man Mantis - "Red Dragonfly" World Around Records
One month ago, masked producer Man Mantis released his "Sea Ambulance" EP on World Around Records. The densely layered, darkly melodic tracks served as a prelude to Man Mantis' "Cities Without Houses" LP, which was released this past Monday. Continuing in the EP's druggy, unsettling fashion, the video laces a Twilight Zone atmosphere with supremely psychedelic visuals.
The "Red Dragonfly" video was directed by Joe Ramos, who is also an avid documentarian live music. His extensive vault of footage can be viewed at http://www.joeguerilla.com.

From the director: My homie Man Mantis is one talented cat, and his new Sea Ambulance EP is an excellent example of the kind of production chops Mantis is capable of.
A precursor to his upcoming Full-length Cities Without Houses, Sea Ambulance is full of dark sample-based soundscapes, soaring melodies and driving beats. One song in particular, the moody "Red Dragonfly", caught my ear immediately.
Turns out the track almost didn't make it onto the EP, but since more than one person has told him it was their favorite track off Sea Ambulance. Me and Mantis got to talking, and soon enough we were working on a music video for "Red Dragonfly".
It was a blast, and a great learning experience. I got to try out a few new ideas and techniques, and the result is something all involved should be proud of. Just don't show this one to any epileptic children.
Featuring Dustin Taylor as the main character, and Man Mantis as Man Mantis, "Red Dragonfly" loosely tells the story of a man that believes he is receiving messages from beyond over the radio and television. The messages are feeding him instructions for building and programming a device, the purpose of which is unknown to him.
Little does he know his true muse is none other than Man Mantis, pulling his strings from behind.
Like I said, the story is a bit loose, so I'll let you put the rest together yourself after watching the video.
