Artist: The Manchester OrchestraAlbum: I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child (2006)
Label: Favorite Gentleman
The Manchester Orchestra is a young band from Atlanta, Georgia whose full-length debut album, I’m Like a Virgin Losing A Child is worthy of recognition.
The album is introduced by a roaring 'Wolves At Night' which not only gets listeners immediate attention but also exposes the records cardinal themes. Stories are what help us make sense of the world, and Singer/songwriter, Andy Hull uses stories of fictional characters to write songs with creative precision to make sense of his own world. From the patient plotting an escape from hospital in 'The Neighbourhood Is Bleeding', to the mourning child trying hard to understand and accept loss in, 'I Can Feel Your Pain' & 'Sleeper 1972', and the ubiquitous outcries in 'Where Have You Been?'. Andy Hull confronts you with questions like, "if you knew I was dying, would it change you?", in emotionally charged 'I Can Barely Breathe' that will change you, your way of thinking and overall perceptions on life.
Considering the quintet’s average age is only 19, they prove to be well wise beyond their years and fellow musical peers.
