about

After Antlers in Velvet, I really wanted to try and write shorter songs. My tendency is to write slow burners that don’t pay off until the end. Mannequins tries to be the opposite of that - more like a T. Rex vignette. It leads off the album to set a different tone. The electronic vibe is immediately present and the sparseness blooms into the most pop moment in Leon III history. Then the whole thing falls to pieces and merges like a dream into Dogwood Blooms.

lyrics

Mannequins

A fix I’m in? a bowl of stars?
The evening light just sits here all day long
Mannequins

Animals come out to watch us pass
It seems all things weren't made for man
Mannequins

A jewel of frost across the sun
A silver token laying under my tongue
Mannequins

It’s nothing anybody needs to know
Mannequins
