Their sophomore album The Greatest Part, released in 2020, was an indie rock opus that garnered acclaim from The New York Times, NPR, and more. After its release, however, Mancari was despairing. An illness in their family, coupled with a realization that their alcohol dependency had become untenable, led Mancari to begin the hard work of taking ownership of their existence by mending broken relationships and investing in their mental health. “I didn’t realize it then, but looking back, I was a passenger in my own life,” Mancari says. The transformative period of self-reckoning was the catalyst that ultimately steered Mancari to write and produce their triumphant new album, Left Hand. After a disheartening studio session with an outside producer, Becca became convinced that they were capable of rendering their vision independently. Close friend and musical ally Juan Solorzano, who has played on all of Mancari’s albums since the debut of Good Woman in 2017, joined them in the studio to co-produce the majority of the record. In addition, Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves, Demi Lovato) co-wrote and co-produced the song “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” encouraging Mancari to track every instrument on the initial demos. As much as self-producing this album was an act of resilience and growth in one’s own craft, Mancari brought trusted friends like Brittany Howard, who they play with in Bermuda Triangle, Julien Baker and Zac Farro into the process. Insecurities that had dogged Mancari since childhood couldn’t weather the force of energy in that studio, where they executed decisions with newfound certainty. The title track, “Left Hand,” is named for the Mancari family crest. After a lifetime spent feeling like they didn’t belong, Mancari unlocked a perfect metaphor in the crest: “In many cultures children born with a dominant left hand were taught not to use that hand, and were told that using the right hand was ‘normal’ and ‘correct.’ Similarly, queer children are often times told that it’s not ‘normal’ for them to love who they love and that they need to ‘change.’” On Left Hand, Mancari offers the listener a collection of songs that should be played in moments when we are in need of reassurance and encouragement. No song exemplifies this better than the ebullient track “Over and Over,” which is a reminder to friends that happiness doesn’t need to be fleeting. “I wanted to write a queer pop song that has meat on its bones,” they say. Inspired by one of many reckless and joyful hangs with dear friends in Nashville, the enlivening pop song makes a promise to them, and to the greater community Mancari embraces on this album. “There is something to the feeling/ Head hanging out of the window/ Being ok that we don’t know,” sung on the chorus over a beat replete with congas and shakers. What follows is a promise to anyone who ever feels like the greatest moments of their life are disappearing in the rearview: “We can have it like we used to, over and over and over and over again.” Artist Becca Mancari Genre Rock And Pop Label Captured Tracks Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Don’t Even Worry Homesick Honeybee Over and Over Don’t Close Your Eyes Mexican Queen Left Hand It’s Too Late Eternity I Had A Dream I Needed You You Don’t Scare Me To Love The Earth Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Becca Mancari and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Becca Mancari The Greatest Part Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th June 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Becca Mancari The Greatest Part £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT326LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Wyatt Different Every Time Volume 1 Rock And Pop | Domino | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 12th November 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Wyatt Different Every Time Volume 1 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP347-1 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ex Hex Rips Rock And Pop | Merge | 1LP Released 13th October 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ex Hex Rips £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge SKU: MRG525LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David Bowie Outside Rock And Pop | Friday Music | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th December 2018 £68.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Bowie Outside £68.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Friday Music SKU: FRM40711 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th December 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Skygreen Leopards Family Crimes Rock And Pop | Woodsist | 1LP Released 7th July 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skygreen Leopards Family Crimes £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Woodsist SKU: WOODSIST073 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Doors, The Waiting For The Sun Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 14th September 2012 £70.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Doors, The Waiting For The Sun £70.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPP7402445 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 14th September 2012 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View A Certain Ratio The Graveyard And The Ballroom Rock And Pop | Mute | 1LP Released 21st November 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders A Certain Ratio The Graveyard And The Ballroom £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: STUMM406 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michael Franti & Spearhead Stay Human Vol. II Rock And Pop | Boo Boo Wax | 2LP Released 25th January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michael Franti & Spearhead Stay Human Vol. II £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Boo Boo Wax SKU: 65916LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Brian Jonestown Massacre, The + – EP Rock And Pop | A Records | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 10th November 2014 £4.99 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brian Jonestown Massacre, The + – EP £4.99 £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A Records SKU: AUK03110 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 10th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Julian Cope Jehovakill Rock And Pop | Island | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th April 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Julian Cope Jehovakill £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 5792092 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mission, The Collected Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th April 2022 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mission, The Collected £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2961 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
