In yet another showcase of brilliant production and fresh-faced talent, Man Made’s latest single ‘You Never Know How It Feels’ has proved to ascend above the rapidly building hype that surrounds the band. This satisfyingly eclectic mix of lofty dream pop and razor-sharp grunge offers instant gratification to the listener; from the initial depth of percussion to the presence of hypnotic vocal hooks, it’s clear that the 3-piece are endeavouring to capture that sense of dreamlike urgency and subtle emotion that is so often found in the music of Manchester.

Whilst their previous singles sting with a distinct tone of rowdy alternative rock, this latest offering indicates that the group possess a substantial ability to soften and define their sound at will – rendering them a rare gem among the new music of today.
