About the Artists
Oh please, oh please, oh haunt me! is an audiovisual project founded by Mitch McCann and Ryan Manchester. While processing deep grief & heart-ache from a recent divorce, Mitch had taken a picture of a strange light anomaly he saw in the sky that he posted on his instagram story jokingly saying “I’m half ready to start a band just to make this an album cover” which his friend Ryan Manchester saw & replied “come to my studio and play around. if we sound anything like Mount Eerie (which Mitch had attached to the post) I want to be a part of it.” and thus the project “Oh please, oh please, oh haunt me!” began. As both members were processing their individual heart ache and beginning their own spiritual practice the project became a source of therapy for the Duo. Together they intend to help transmute these darker feelings into light by helping themselves and others heal by coming back into our own hearts and waking up to the divine. The Album cover is the photo Mitch took and shared.
