Mansions (EP)
extended play by Mansions
Mansions EP is the second release from the band Mansions, released by Doghouse Records in 2008. The EP was intended as a teaser for the full-length album, New Best Friends, as it contains two tracks from the album, as well as two b-sides.
The physical edition of the EP contains enhanced content, including acoustic versions of "Not The First Time" and "The Worst Part", and a video of a Q&A with lead vocalist Christopher Browder.
The EP was produced, engineered, and mixed by Mike Sapone, known for his work with Taking Back Sunday and Brand New. Mastering was done by Fred Kevorkian, known for his work with Willie Nelson, The Apples in Stereo, Maroon 5, Joseph Arthur, The National, and more.

Why this record matters
“Mansions (EP)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mansions, extended and play provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6751769. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
