Popscene: Mansionair

Atmospheric indie band Mansionair began in 2014 when Sydney, Australia-based producers/multi-instrumentalists Lachlan Bostock and Alex Nicholls met with local vocalist Jack Froggatt to work on some unfinished song sketches. The chemistry between the three was immediate and with the smooth, synth-leaning pop songs that grew from those early sessions, they formed Mansionair. It wasn’t long before the band was both picked up by a label and touring in support of larger bands like Alt-J and Chvrches. The band issued a series of singles, gaining more traction with each new release. Their 2017 single “Easier” stood out — streamed millions of times, it gained the band new followers at a rampant rate.
