Have A New Name, by Wax Mannequin

Have A New Name

by Wax Mannequin

supported by

Tom Duggan As tender and sublime as No Safe Home, as catchy and hilarious as The Price, the latest from Mr. Wax is the record this world needs in 2018. Desperately prescient "People Can Change," the objectively necessary white humility of "someone fixed the game for me", and the inarguable accuracy of "Basketball." Always hard to pick a favorite, as these albums make me want to laugh and cry at once... Very rare! Favorite track: Scold's Bridle.

The record is rooted in the whimsy and oblique satire that is familiar to fans of of Adeney’s work. Stand-out tracks like “Someone Fixed The Game” and “People Can Change” display a maturity that signals Wax Mannequin is indeed more than capable of reaching wider audiences without
sacrificing any of his edge. With Have A New Name, Christopher Adeney has made a
Wax Mannequin album utterly necessary for this moment in time. Challenging and earthy, funny and heartbreaking, in search of answers yet rooted in hard-earned wisdom.

about

Wax Mannequin Hamilton, Ontario

Adeney's music veers from scrappy prog oddness and distressed folk to absurdist stadium metal, all with a dark humour that borders on outright Dadaism.
Beneath the unsettling imagery and musical left turns there is a steady questioning of life’s inherent strangeness and his own neuro-divergent experience.
He has appeared on thousands of pub, gallery and festival stages worldwide.
