The Mantis Opera are an avant-garde rock band from London, beginning as a fleeting solo project before spiralling into a cassette-tape obsession, until finally mutating into the four-piece it is today.

Members Allister (guitar/synth/vocals), Henry (guitar/synth/vocals), Louis (bass/synth) met while studying music at Falmouth University, with Ed (drums/pads) completing the line-up once they graduated.

In the summer of 2016 the band released Four Movements EP, a 2-years-in-the-making explosion of sound and colour. Drawing influence from the likes of Deerhoof, Battles and Tortoise, the resulting sound is a cascade of jagged guitar riffs, swirling synth arpeggios and stuttering electronic poly-rhythms.

The Mantis Opera is now working on new material, with the aim to release an EP next year.
