Mantra is proving to be one of the hardest working urban acts on the Aussie scene right now. His new album Telling Scenes hits stores today, and he’s currently touring the country supporting Seth Sentry. But with a few days free on that tour, he figured he’d also set off on his own headlining run to support the album’s release.
Telling Scenes features the single “Break Tradition”, which is one of the most intelligent hip hop tracks I’ve heard in a while. Make sure you really listen to the lyrics on this one readers. They’re stunning. The album continues this tradition, telling emotional narratives that take listeners on a journey, informing and moving them rather than just entertaining.
Mantra will promote the album and single at the following headline shows.
19 September 2013 – Flyrite, Perth
20 September 2013 – Mojo’s, Fremantle
3 October 2013 – Great Northern, Newcastle
4 October 2013 – Annandale Hotel, Sydney
