Manchester Orchestra: No Rules and No Ceiling
Soundcheck | May 13, 2021
Atlanta-based Manchester Orchestra crafts cinematic, lush, long-form rock, with such detail about the characters, that it makes the stories even more believable on the songs from their latest record, The Million Masks of God. The band’s songwriting duo of Andy Hull and Robert McDowell, invokes the poem that inspired the album’s title, “Gold Leaves” by G.K. Chesterton, and talks about trying to find connections to the divine or the things that are in the way when searching. Hull and McDowell of Manchester Orchestra play some stripped-down and intimate arrangements remotely, for the podcast.
