Manchester Orchestra will release Cope on April 1, 2014 through their recent partnership with Loma Vista Recordings and their very own Favorite Gentlemen Recordings. The new full-length album from the Atlanta-based band was self-produced alongside their long-time collaborating partner Dan Hannon, and mixed by John Agnello at Fluxivity Studios in Brooklyn. They recorded the entire record in the home studio they built themselves after six months spent gutting and refurbishing the old house they used to live in together. The follow up to 2011’s Simple Math, the band’s critically acclaimed and highest charting album to date, Cope is an unrelenting and unapologetically heavy 38 minutes of rock. Manchester Orchestra will hit the road this spring, performing songs from the new album for fans on a headline two-month tour of North America. Upcoming tour dates below. The band will also be headlining dates in April overseas in the UK.
Supporting the run will be Balance and Composure as well as Brooklyn native and Favorite Gentlemen label-mates Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band. Several tour dates will be performed as part of the Freedom Project™, an event series presented by blu eCigs. Additional details regarding this partnership are to come. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 24th to the general public for both North America as well as the UK. The confirmed opener for UK will be Gang Of Youths.
