Manchester Orchestra "I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child"


"I'm like a virgin losing a child" is the first full length outing by Manchester Orchestra, a brilliantly executed rock album. sort of a cross between Death Cab for Cutie and Explosions in the Sky with maybe a little of The Cure or Wilderness thrown in for good measure. Bitterly poetic and informed, this record swings back and forth thru varying emotions, pounding and rocking all the all the way thru with the exception of three tracks affecting incredible beauty and aching melancholy, I can feel your pain, Sleeper 1972 and Don't let them see you cry .
