Manic Year

AI-intolerant. Over-educated. Self-sabotaging. Bit-committal. David Liebig's prolific literary hyperpop project delivers a proprietary blend of sparkle, irreverence, and intimacy. The songs — drenched in allusion yet addictively candied — offer themselves as sonic playgrounds. His new single — Bless This Mess — pits Manic Year's earwormy oversharing against the explosively moody palette of San Francisco producer Max Savage. These anxious yet saccharine verses function as fuses, burning down toward the chorus' cathartic eruption. A full music video accompanies the track, while a b-side titled Live, Laugh, Love reexamines the narration's events from a more somber perspective.
