Vol. 163 The Soundtrack of Frame and Mantle

Frame and Mantle join us to dive into their new album, discussing the evolution of their collaborative songwriting process and the layered, immersive sound that sets this record apart. Brian and Connor share the influences behind their heavier direction—from post-rock to 90s/2000s emo and grunge—and how unique elements like trumpet lines bring their music to life. We also talk about Pittsburgh’s tight-knit music scene, their upcoming Northeast and Midwest tour, and what it means to stay disciplined as an independent band.
