Downloadcode. Manuela, the London-based project comprising vocalist and songwriter Manuela Gernedel and multiinstrumentalist and producer Nick McCarthy (Franz Ferdinand, FFS), announce details of their debut album. The self-titled album – a joyous gem of addictive, eclectic, off-the-wall and instantly refreshing DIY pop – will be released on Lost Map on CD, vinyl and digital formats in cooperation with Munich based label Schamoni Musik and Mexican label, Panoram. Austrian Manuela and her British-born husband Nick have been making music together on and off ever since they first met at a youth club summer party in the late 90s in Bavaria, Germany, where they both grew up. They moved to Glasgow together some years later after Manuela was offered a place at Glasgow School of Art to study painting. While living in Glasgow, Manuela performed with the shortlived band White Nights, who released one 7” EP via Paul Thompson’s NEW! label. Nick went on to join Franz Ferdinand, sell millions of records and tour the world, all the while continuing to make music with Manuela as Box Codax together with their long-term friend Alexander Ragnew, releasing two wellreceived albums Only An Orchard Away in 2006 and Hellabuster in 2011. The album was recorded after Nick concluded touring the Franz Ferdinand and Sparks collaboration FFS at Sausage, Nick’s studio in London and was co-produced and mixed by Sebastian Kellig. The album features players and friends old and new including Jim Dixon (Django Django), William Reese (Mystery Jets), Roxanne Clifford (Veronica Falls) and Paul Thomson (Franz Ferdinand) among many others.

INVINCIBLE DUB (05:51) PRESS QUOTES FOR MANUELA “Slinky, understated dance-rock that shuffles along with echoing, escalating guitar lines and precise drums that snap with intent” – STEREOGUM “Ragged post-punk meets disco that recalls the Bush Tetras, 99 Records and other juicy delights from New York's early 80s underground” – CLASH “Gernedel's vocal steals the show… warm but reserved, arch but involving, calling to mind Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier in her open-hearted cool” – THE LIST Record Label: Schamoni Style: Alternative Rock
