AUDIO: Mainland – “Beggars”
With dreamy synths and crunchy percussion, New York City’s Mainland have a new single that blends the best of post punk with dream pop in “Beggars”. The first release since their “Outcasts” EP, which was released at the beginning of the year, this track is uplifting in every sense of the word. As the song’s cover art would suggest, the New York City subway system was influential to the theme of the track. Frontman Jordan Topf was inspired by his late night train rides to come up with the affirming anthem. While the song’s subject matter is uplifiting, the sound of the track is also enough to bring your spirits up. Expect to hear more from Mainland in the near future, piggybacking off of the eventual success of this single. Get your first listen to “Beggars” below:
