Can't wait for the Mannequin Men's new disc to drop (hopefully in June)? Check out Shrimpss, a quieter electro-Westerberg-ian side project from Kevin Mannequin and friends.

We like the whole thing, but if you want to a recommendation of which track to take in first we'd suggest "Volunteers." It's vibe of late night teenage frustration, self-loathing and general angst dredges up the vision of painfully sweet adolescent memories. Enjoy.
