Having recently completed my Manchester Orchestra experience by catching them live on one of their handful of recent UK dates, the Atlanta five piece have been stuck in my head of late. Their 2006 album 'I'm Like A Virgin Loosing A Child' is a well crafted opus and after a couple of listens you are hooked. From their sparse subtlety of voice and guitar to walls of driving melodic noise, MO have managed to master the dynamics most miss or simply over complicate. When MO rock they drive hard with pounding drums, keys brooding below and some equally hard working guitars. In contrast they are capable of stripped down, fragile and captivating moments. Whilst unquestionably on the ball musically, lyrically I'm captivated, the dark subject matter leaves me transfixed, with main man Andy Hull writing from what seems to be a permanent state of conflict with himself searching for answers and understanding.
In short 'I'm Like A Virgin Loosing A Child' is a stunning album understated and easy to listen to full of slow burning well crafted songs deserving your attention.
Fantastic well written songs, that just leave you feeling almost breathless, its been awhile since i heard an album this good, words can almost not describe it
only downside is these songs have all gotten much better in the way they sound since been recorded, so see them live if you get the chance!
I would advise this album to anyone. Each track is so hard-hitting and the singer has you holding onto every word. Live performance is also outstanding. Check this band out!
Saw them at Reading Festival last week, if the Album is anything like that it should be good.
