Manchester Orchestra - Hope [CD]

Atlanta-based hard rock quintet Manchester Orchestra is thrilled to announced the release of HOPE, a startling re-imagination of COPE, their most recent album, issued earlier this year.

Searching for the sonic direction of what would become their fourth full-length album, the hard-hitting COPE, earlier this year; Manchester Orchestra discovered something pretty amazing. The unapologetically heavy anthems seemed to work just as well (or even better) when stripped to their essence. 'We were noticing that all the beautiful, slow stuff was working with all the really loud and fast stuff,' said lead vocalist, Andy Hull. 'The seed was planted to go back and create a full circle of an album.'
