Mansfield.TYA is a French post-rock duo that originated in 2002 in Nantes, consisting of Julia Lanoë (also recognized as Rebeka Warrior from Sexy Sushi) alongside baroque violinist Carla Pallone. The band's name pays homage to June Miller (June Mansfield), who was the second spouse of author Henry Miller.
Their initial release was the EP May in 2004, which preceded their debut full-length album June in 2007. The 2009 album Seules au bout de 23 secondes presents a fusion of folk music and post-rock, often regarded as a unique entry within the genre.
Following this, they produced Nyx (2011), described as a "nocturnal post-rock baroque opera," and Corpo Inferno (2015), featuring American vocalist Shannon Wright on the track "Loup noir." Their last studio album, Monument ordinaire (2021), includes contributions from Odezenne and François Guillemot of Bérurier Noir. Mansfield.TYA concluded their career in 2022 with a farewell concert held at L’Olympia.
