A propos de Mandarin Dynasty
Mandarin Dynasty was a band fronted by Mike Sherk, formed in Encinitas, California in 2004. The group is best known for extensively touring the the United States, as well as for releasing several bedroom pop albums, including Sea Legs (2005) and Perpendicular Crosstalk (2011). We released Feedback Time on vinyl in 2016. Another album exists, titled Perfection, but as of 2021 still remains unreleased.
Mandarin Dynasty's lineup at times included members of Deer Tick and Dear Nora. The band released several EPs before recording a full-length album in 2005, titled Sea Legs. Soon after forming, the band began playing shows within the American independent music scene, embarking on extensive tours with Viking Moses, Deer Tick, Stephen Steinbrink & French Quarter, and Thanksgiving. Mandarin Dynasty also performed on bills with notable indie and K Records-adjacent bands like Why?, YACHT, The Blow, and Mount Eerie.
In September 2011, Mandarin Dynasty released Perpendicular Crosstalk through the influential underground cassette label Bridgetown Records. The album was recorded by Sherk at various studios and homes around Michigan, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and California. The often-unconventional recording locations included an overnight setup at a church in Long Beach and a condemned practice space near the San Diego Sports Arena. The album was performed solo by Sherk, with guest appearances by John McCauley (of Deer Tick), Kevin Ferguson, and Taryn Popplewell. Perpendicular Crosstalk received positive reviews from In Your Speakers and Impose, while earning the band comparisons to the production styles of Brian Wilson, Neutral Milk Hotel, and of Montreal. The album was re-released on vinyl by Trabuco Records in January 2014.
In 2012, Mandarin Dynasty’s song "I Took Note" was covered by the band Diamond Rugs. The track was noted as a highlight of the album by NPR Music and Paste Magazine. NPR's "Fresh Air" stated that Sherk's song detailed “the ways in which a budding artist might prepare to create worthwhile art, suffering for it even as it yields an endearing melody.”
By 2014, Mandarin Dynasty had relocated to Portland, Oregon and the band's regular lineup had grown to include Zach Burba (of iji) and Carly Toyer. In 2015 the album Feedback Time was released on cassette via Lost Sound Tapes and our vinyl released followed in 2016.
