“If you name the most interesting new recording artists to have emerged this year, the list probably encompasses only a small number of worthy candidates. One name that should ring a bell is Mansions On The Moon”- Hypetrak

Mansions on the Moon’s mixtape, Paradise Falls, is now available for free download. Mansions on the Moon is the latest project from Ben Hazlegrove and Lane Shaw (Pnuma Trio) along with singer / songwriter, Ted Wendler.

The Echo Park trio formed a little over a year ago and they have since collaborated with N*E*R*D, Diplo, DJ, Benzi and Xaphoon Jones (Chiddy Bang). The guys have been off to a flying start from day one.

Paradise Falls, released by Diplo and DJ Benzi illustrates the wide range of Mansions on the Moon’s capabilities. The fusion of Mansions’ electro indie pop into a trip-hop flavored mixtape shows this band has huge things on the horizon. Keep an eye out for their debut original album and tour dates in early 2011.
