Lord forgive me but it’s cold beer Friday & we must partake! Can you believe it? Lil ole Mandala on Jam in the Van (@jaminthevan ) The full thing is up on their YT channel, and we really laid the heat down. For any old fans out there this is some basement rock bucket list shit for real for us. Any new fans we welcome you to the gang 💚 One track from all the mandala album eras so far. MANDALA ON JAM IN THE VAN AVAILABLE NOW - Better Now - She Don’t Mind - I’m Not Mad Bcuz U Left - Washed Up

Mandala stopped by Jam in the Van and delivered a set that hits with the focus and confidence of a band hitting their stride. The Connecticut-raised, L.A.-based indie rock group stepped into our mobile studio and laid down a performance built on sharp writing, tight rhythm, and a chemistry you can’t fake. Their sound is urgent, melodic, and emotionally grounded - the kind of live energy that translates even in a small room. Sessions like this are why we do what we do at Jam in the Van: put real artists in a space where their music speaks for itself. If you’re digging into new music discovery, tracking indie bands making real moves, or just want a live performance that actually holds your attention, this one’s worth a watch. Watch the full live music session streaming now on the Jam in the Van YT channel, 🔗 in bio! #musicdiscovery #jaminthevan #indierock

When Chris brought the Never Got To See painting for cover shooting we took a bunch of different photos. I really appreciated the texture of the painting and wanted to capture that but ultimately the scan needed no editing. a gorg lil adobe scan captured the raw colors beautifully. Here are some of the photos we had taken that didn’t make the cut. Shout out again to @stirling_arts_ ! - @gender.traitor

By the time you see this, our new song Never Got To See will be out. Mandala Monday returns. Our OG @chrisjdesi wrote this one, and we recorded it a long while back…happy to put it out into the universe. Chris’ genius friend and artist @stirling_arts_ painted this cover. Our other OG @prodbyfumo recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered this song.

“When you finally give in, good God is waiting to forgive all your sins.” Sometimes peace looks like surrender 🖤

Keep your flowers in a cage, prepare them for the season…(Spooky season with Mandala🖤) #godwilling

“Feel like the shell of a man, waiting for a chance you ain’t got much of a plan…” “GODWILLING” (Official Music Video) has been released into the ethers ✨🖤 This project has been the biggest labor of love, and many years in the making. It’s unreal what you can do when you put your hearts and your minds together!! From getting the sounds out of our brains and onto the fretboard, to the amazing people behind the scenes that helped record us so intentionally well, and then being able to create this outstanding visual experience that really represents how this song feels to us…we are so truly grateful, blessed, and proud. It has been quite some time to get to this point, but the journey has been incredible.
