Oh Mandy - The Spinto Band

Song Name: Oh Mandy
Artist: The Spinto Band
Album: Moonwink

WOOT! First post in 2 days! :D
Also, I finally did one of my most favourite indie bands ever!
The Spinto Band is a collection of college friends in Boston who found old names of record songs that were hiding in the attic of their grandparent's house. All of their songs and even the band name derives from those old record songs. The Spinto Band has that mandolin playing, which gives it a lively tone. The music video is really cool. The animation was extensive in order to make the paper animations, burning buildings, and "winter wonderland". The whole basis of the music video is psychological, and shows the theme of an everlasting home. Every year, Mandy is built up, and then is burned down. During the winter it is recreated, and thaws. But when spring comes back, they recolonize, and revitalizes Mandy. It's also a very sweet song. :)

wow. that's one of the longest summaries i've ever given o.O
anyways, really really cool song!
