Well, not really. But they do have a song called “mangetout” on their new album.

I found it amusing that it references the common misreading of @Mangetout’s name.

> Oh man, I hope you’re gonna get out soon

Hehehe, I thought about mentioning it here after it showed up in my feed. Pretty damn good song, love the fuzz.

Check out [“don’t speak”](https://youtu.be/UszSMi8GsvQ) for more good fuzz. Very My Bloody Valentine.

Hehehe, yeah. That’s got some “I have the vibrato arm taped to my hand” Kevin Shields moves in it. I like both those songs more than the “davina mccal” single they’ve been promoting. Oh well, I’m not their manager.
