"Corsicana’s songs are soaring and magnetic. Bird bones aren’t actually hollow, they are interwoven with pockets for air to flow through as an extension of the lungs. Language in Ben’s music are those pockets of breath carrying us higher and higher, allowing us to take flight. And in the glide, there is pensiveness and longing. There is introspection and flagellation. There are mantras and the ways they don’t work. The realization that you must become your own person after allowing yourself to be defined by others. The realization that your parents are just as messed up as you are. The shock of aloneness and the relief of freedom. You could almost call it growing up - except it's the kind of growing up we have to do every day. A relentless honesty that comes through the associations of egrets and fathers, of turnpikes and lovers, of falling and flying." - Gion Davis

Mantisgrove is the project of Seth Leininger, blending synthpop, surf rock, shoegaze, and psychedelic textures into immersive soundscapes. After a decade as a lead guitarist in psych bands (Elk Tongue, Harriman Exit), Seth launched Mantisgrove in 2017 to explore a more expansive, emotional sonic palette.

Live, Mantisgrove delivers a dynamic mix of instruments and manipulated backing tracks, with Seth on vocals, guitar, keys, and samples, joined by Will Hartigan (bass/synth) and rotating collaborators. The result is a textured performance that moves both body and mind.
