Manchester Orchestra- 'Simple Math'
So far I've been slightly behind the times with Manchester Orchestra, but I'm rectifying the situation with their latest album 'Simple Math' which fell happily through my door this morning, fired across the country from a big Amazon warehouse somewhere. I got in to them entirely by chance when looking for live footage of Brand New on Youtube and clicked on a video of Jesse Lacey performing 'Where Have You Been' with MO. On the strength of that one song I bought both of their albums, 'I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child' and 'Mean Everything To Nothing', and haven't really stopped listening to them since. They fill a nice gap between the melodic emo pop of Jimmy Eat World and the fuzzy angst of Brand New, which suits me just right.
I 'm currently listening through the album for the first time and can say that MO have written a hefty fistful of great songs here. I've found from listening to them that their material needs a good few listens to really burrow into your subconscious. I'm also damn excited to see them in Bristol in October :D
Anyway, have a listen if you like, and enjoy the great video!
