Don’t let their name fool you, the boys in Manchester Orchestra are actually from the ATL and I have yet to see any pictures of them playing a string, woodwind or brass instrument - tricky lads.

Manchester’s blurbs:

Though Manchester Orchestra has only been a proper band for a year and a half, this young quintet (with an average age of 19) has crafted an album that sounds more aware and traveled than many of its more aged peers. Led by singer / songwriter / guitarist Andy Hull, Manchester Orchestra’s debut LP, I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child, is a statement cinematic in scope.
