Christopher Browder is a dude from Louisville, Kentucky. He's a fan of LOST, quesadillas, and George Bush (with a mustache). He plays too much Wii and drinks too much Diet Coke. Christopher Browder is also Mansions, a one-man emotional rollercoaster (a la Bright Eyes) who sounds a lot like early Death Cab For Cutie. If the photo on Browder's purevolume profile is any indication -- he spends a lot of time being overwhelmed by the feelings he sings about. That bodes well for the music, because you can tell he means every word.
Mansions' debut album drops March 3 on Doghouse Records, home of Jet Lag Gemini, Army Of Me and The Honorary Title, and original signer of The Get Up Kids, Say Anything and All-American Rejects. Not too shabby, right? If you can't wait until March, and you happen to be lucky enough to live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, you can catch Browder with buddies standing in on bass and drums at The Werehouse February 6. Otherwise, listen to Mansions, and get ready for a major arrival!
