Modern Vices

Born in 2014 from the mind of songwriter Derek Silva, psychedelic beach goths Mantra Love grew from a calling to bring bedroom demos into fruition. Derek began jamming these demos with longtime friend/drummer Cody Boyer. Soon enough, the two added Fabian Silva, Derek’s brother, on bass guitar. Over the next year, the trio began touring Texas. From Houston to DFW to Austin, Mantra Love has compelled audiences to feel the pulse of exotic rhythms while captured in a brooding echo chamber. In 2015, the guys blended their influences from 70s psychedelic pop and 80s new wave and post-punk to introduce their self-titled debut, Mantra Love EP. Following their debut release, Mantra Love has focused on consistently recording demos and touring nationally.
