Fueled by mystic forces hidden behind California’s Redwood Curtain, White Manna has been feeding heads a steady diet of transcendent jams at a frenzied pace. The band boasts no less than eleven releases in their discography, and they show little sign of slowing down. Formed in 2008 in the far reaches of Humboldt County, White Manna have established themselves as one of the leaders of the modern psychedelic movement. Their mix of punked-up space rock riffs and laid back cosmiche vibes have always set White Manna apart from their contemporaries, and success has taken them as far away as England, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.

The band is comprised of David Johnson (guitar, vocals, and keyboards), Johnny Webb (bass), Anthony Taibi (guitar, vocals, and keyboards), and Tavan Anderson (drums, vocals).

First Welcome is the eighth full length album from the ever evolving, veteran psychonauts White Manna. White Manna's longevity as one of the leaders of the modern psychedelic movement is attributed to their willingness to introduce new elements to their sonic repertoire. Initially, these moves were subtle, but as the band has moved on through the years, these moves have become much more pronounced, always leaving listeners wondering what is in store for them as new releases are announced. So, here we are with First Welcome, an album that features warbled country leanings, airy blooms of ambience, and occasional hints of a German yesteryear, all implemented into the band's signature hazy and spacey mosaic of sound. None of these developments are unexpected, as they do build off of their previous album ARC, but here we see the band expand these elements and really make them their own. It should be noted that First Welcome is a product of the COVID era, with much of the recording happening in quarantine or while socially distanced. The band's process relied on communicating via email and sending music files back and forth. For White Manna this made the world of COVID both more fun and challenging, and they used the opportunity to get friends in different places to overdub tracks. Backing vocals and slide guitar were recorded while camping in the Mojave Desert. The saxophone was recorded in Liverpool. England. The trumpet sounds and some of the passages on the Rhodes were laid down in Northern California, and much of the vocals, piano, and synthesizer tracks were recorded in Costa Rica. As a result, the sound of First Welcome is reflective of the circumstances of these contemplative times. White Manna is recommended for listeners of everything from Hawkwind to Harmonia - and everything in between.
