Man Man will release the new studio album Life Fantastic on May 10. The album was produced by Bright Eyes/Monsters of Folk member Mike Mogis and features contributions by Bright Eyes’ Nate Walcott. Life Fantastic is the first Man Man album with a proper producer behind the boards.

“The songs were fully-formed entities by the time we got to Mike’s studio,” says frontman Ryan Kattner, “But he was there to say things like, ‘Okay, that’s a bit (too) much.’ He was able to help us carve the beauty out of the chaos we brought. It wasn’t whittling down the points; it was sharpening them so they’d puncture even deeper.”
