Evita Manji has released their debut album ‘Spandrel?’ via Berlin label PAN.

Manji uses their raw vocals as well as a contemporary club sound, baroque pop, and experimental sound design throughout the album to portray themes of tragedy, romance, and poetry flowing throughout.

According to a press statement, the album name refers to “features of an organism that aren’t developments for survival, and seemingly possess no obvious purpose.”
