Note To All Orchestras, You Should Sound More Like This

I was going to continue talking about The Times today, but I've something much more important... A new band!

All the way from Atlanta, Georgia come Manchester Orchestra, indie rock with a bit of everything else thrown in. After hearing about these guys from a friend, and missing out seeing them playing, I went out and got their album. I ended up buying their newest one, Mean Everything To Nothing.



Their sound is a strange mix of almost everything, but it stays together with a sense of continuity. Formed in 2005, we're clearly dealing with proper music fans here... You can hear influcence from Grunge, Shoegaze and Folk, all thrown together, all expertly performed, and the end result is something that will amaze you.

The photo is by a mysterious man called only "Brady" and who has an interesting photo blog. I wonder if it would be possible to do our blog using only photos and still get our style of semi-coherent music reviews across...?
