"It feels like it could have been taken straight out of Sticky Fingers-era Rolling Stones, down to Converse’s bluesy vocal delivery and the soul-tinged falsetto harmonies." Under The Radar

"eccentric surf rock with a dance-centric style that mingles the spirits of the two big cities

in the Sunshine State they have roots in." - The Alternative

"The band has a penchant for swirling soundscapes that incorporate surf-rock and

tinges of soul" - Atwood Magazine

Spooky Mansion has unveiled “Long Time Ago, the final preview single off their new album What About You? due out tomorrow, October 31. Driven by a bluesy guitar line and the heartfelt vocals of Grayson Converse, the introspective song takes a moment to find joy and acceptance from what life brings your way as well as the losses and near misses. Grayson shares, “'Long Time Ago' was recorded fully analog straight to 2" tape and through an old API board. We stood in a big live room and tracked it in a couple of takes. There's a certain carefree buoyant energy to the song that I think was captured from our live performance. The dual piano and guitar solo was created on the spot. The guitarist played it and later I listened back and played the same thing over top on piano.”

An earnest, love-led record cast in the mores of Americana and early ‘70s rock & roll, What About You? Has earned acclaim spanning Under The RadarThe Bluegrass SituationWe The Cool MagazineAudiofuzzBuzzbands.la and more. It is strapped with jangly guitar and classic sonic influences spanning Kurt Vile, The Rolling Stones, The Nude Party and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. The most pastoral offering in the Spooky Mansion catalog, the then recently married Converse set out to evoke the joy of falling in love and starting a simpler life in the country, having a farm and exploring in the mountains – all through his singular sonic sensibility. Strapped with acoustic guitars, pianos and electric guitars and intricate percussion, his bandmates Rob Mills, Marty Reising and Braden Lyle were able to capture that enthusiastic, upbeat fun.


Spooky Mansion combines nostalgic rock & roll energy with hints of country, jazz, blues and rock. The sun soaked, rock & roll record emulates the spirit of the band’s widely revered live show which has drawn a close knit community and commands fans to their feet. They have shared stages with notable acts such as Natalia LaFourcade, The Moss and Cafe Tacuba and have hit the road once again this fall with several headline appearances and select support dates with Stop Light Observations. They have also just announced a slew of new 2024 US tour dates. Tickets are available here.
