I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child

Manchester Orchestra

A raw, dynamic debut of suburban spirituality and heartbreak. It swings violently between hushed acoustic confessions and explosive, distorted indie rock catharsis.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'stare at your bedroom ceiling and feel everything' record.

A heavy, spiritual yearning that finds release in sudden bursts of distorted guitar.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, distorted guitar explosion at the four-minute mark of Where Have You Been that feels like a physical weight.
The fragile, cracking falsetto in the final minute of Colly Strings as the instrumentation slowly dissolves into static.
The way the drums suddenly lock in with the frantic organ during the bridge of Wolves at Night.
