Manchester Orchestra is an American indie rock band that was formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2004. Named not after the UK city, but rather from the lead singer Andy Hull's love for the rich musical culture of Manchester, the band distinguishes itself with a blend of poignant lyrics, eclectic sounds, and emotional storytelling. The band initially began with Hull penning songs in his bedroom during his high school years before evolving into a full-fledged ensemble that would go on to capture the hearts of listeners worldwide.

Over the years, Manchester Orchestra has consistently produced a catalog of introspective music, characterized by its lush, cinematic soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics. With albums like "I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child," "Mean Everything to Nothing," and "A Black Mile to the Surface," they garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Their recent offerings such as "The Million Masks Of God" showcase a band that continues to grow and challenge their musical boundaries. Through both studio innovation and raw live performances, captured in releases like "The Way (Live from The Armory)," Manchester Orchestra proves that their journey is one of continual evolution and emotive expression, cementing their status as a cornerstone of the indie music scene.
