Ex-Thieves instrumentalist Saul Freeman aimed for his own dream-pop aesthetic when he placed an ad in the now defunct music weekly, Melody Maker. He had already worked with David McAlmont, but wanted a new creative outlet. Searching for an ethereal voice similar to the likes of the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser and Shara Nelson (Massive Attack, Presence), solo artist Nicola Hitchcock ended Freeman's search when answering his request. The two instantly clicked, for Hitchcock also had a debut album under her belt and the two formed Mandalay in the mid-nineties. Incorporating trip-hop loops similar to Portishead and Hitchcock's vocal perfections, the duo earned props throughout the latter part of the decade in their native U.K., specifically with the albums Empathy and Instinct.

Mandalay

If truth could speak
I need another
I swear its due
I need another
When i
Get scared
When I recover
Im sure that there
Can be another
And your life is chained
Close to another
Her shell is deep
Inlaid with trouble
A life for less
A new removal
You shed your skin
And love another
And your back isnt sore anymore
And your feet touch the ground
As you step from the wall
And you gave all you could
Given all that you saw
But dappled with love
Can you see who you are
A lot gets said
You lose another
You shed a load
And gain another
Youre back in deep
You know its over
You find yourself
And love another
And your back isnt sore anymore
And your feet touch the ground
As you step from the wall
And you gave all you could
Given all that you saw
But dappled with love
Can you see who you are
Still looking for more
Must you love another
Must you lie
Must you judge
Must you take another
On you go in the dark
One day youll discover
That you cant understand
How to love another
Dappled with love love love
Can you see who you are
Dappled with love love love love
