Maneka is the solo project of Devin McKnight (Grass Is Green, ex-Speedy Ortiz), a consistently enormous force in every band he’s played in. Is You Is, the project’s debut EP, marks the first time McKnight is handling the entirety of the songwriting and vocals. Today the band has premiered their single “Power.” The single features guest vocals from Fern Mayo’s Katie Capri, floating together with McKnight’s lower registers.
Speaking about “Power,” Devin said, “It’s about being dependent and feeling slave to my psychiatric medicine. It’s also about taking ownership of my situation despite feeling like I’m not really in control of my own emotions all the time. Sometimes there’s great power in just saying no to something or ending a toxic situation on your terms.”
