Nobody Wants To

Limited seven inch vinyl pressing. A chunky slab of shimmering synth-soul on a hip-hop beat throbs out of the speakers on the new Chico Mann and Kendra Morris single. Served up with trademark afro guitar licks and spacey synth stabs this beautiful one-off release follows their killer album-cut 'Same Old Clown', the highlight of the Chico Mann Magical Thinking full-length of 2012. Kendra Morris explains: "'Nobody Wants To' is about trying to fill the void and then being too stubborn to let go... I feel like we all have this thing in us that we search to fill. sometimes we are doing alright and it seems to maintain itself but then there are times - usually when you're on some sort of self-destructive warpath - where it just is this hollow thing and you try to stuff anything into it to feel good. It feels good for a while but then it kinda bottoms out " Kendra's long-time collaborator Jeremy Page (who produced both of her two albums for Wax Poetics Records) and Chico Mann built the instrumental - Kendra "had a ton of vocal ideas" the second she heard it and `Nobody Wants To' was born. Chico Mann recently re-located from New Jersey City to Los Angeles where he's working on material both as Chico Mann and with his new psych-rock outfit Here Lies Man.
