we are writing at a feverish pace and i think the songs sound really loud, aggressive, fast, catchy, and angry. There will be lots of new music coming your way at some time or another. if SOMEHOW in this digital age, the mp3 somehow mysteriously appears… its alright with us We hope those of you who get a vinyl can help share the musical love. frankly i don’t really want to mess with no doubt and i definitely don’t want to mess with the beatles. this is because of the licensing fees and legalities we would have to pay no doubt and the beatles. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a digital download for sale with the vinyl. THE VINYL WILL BE AVAILABLE FRIDAY 3PM EST exclusively through our web store. the other 100 are out there somewhere… we have no idea where, how, or why. due to the length of both songs we were not able to make this a 7 inch and we have around 400 of them in stock. so i called up the thrice guys and asked if they were still interested in releasing it and here we are. these vinyls have been sitting in our warehouse ever since. well, like most vinyl things get delayed and it just so happened that by the time the vinyl came to us on the road (where we intentionally planned on selling it) the tour was abruptly cancelled due to a family emergency. when MO did a co-headline tour with thrice (O’Bro opening) in the spring of 2009, we asked thrice to add a song so we could print up a proper split. Manchester and o’brother have been sitting on this song for a long time. we listened to and said “that’s a little much”… went back in and recorded the second version the comes in at about 14 minutes. i don’t think i’m missing anybody but looking back now the evening registers a tad “foggy”. the set up was like this… 3 electric guitars (me, robert, johnny) 1 baritone (aaron), 1 acoustic guitar (our buddy averso), piano (tanner), 2 bass players (anton and j) and chris on drums. we recorded it all live in the same room. luckily they were game so we all met at Dan Hannon and Brad Fishers studio “Vintage Song” at about 11 pm and started mapping it out. “i am going to have to call o’bro and tell them we can’t do preproduction tonight because we must record a cover of this song with each member of both bands. manchester finished up writing for the day and i started playing a c minor and singing the first lines of “don’t speak”… we all sort of laughed… then we all sort of jammed… then the light bulb went off. we would usually do pre production on monday nights at the manchester practice space. When manchester was writing mean everything to nothing i was in the middle of helping them produce the first O’Bro EP “the death of day”. i thought i would share with you the history behind why we decided to record what is undeniably THE BEST 14 minute stoner-rock version of “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt to ever exist. the story behind the making of our half of this record is a pretty cool one. we are so stoked to get this thing officially out into the world, even if there are only a couple hundred copies available. i wanted to take a minute and thank you for the response the last few days to the news about some “new” music. Having discreetly released a split 12' with the now defunct Thrice last week, on 25th January - all of the limited run are now unfortunately sold out - the five-piece's contribution to the vinyl was a very special cover.Īs it turns out, the band have recorded a cover of No Doubt's 'Don't Speak', which frontman Andy Hull himself described as 'undeniably THE BEST 14 minute stoner-rock version of “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt to ever exist.'Ĭurious? Check the cover out below, and read Hull's full statement in regards to the split EP underneath that. We've not heard much from Manchester Orchestra since they released their third album 'Simple Math' back in 2011, but now it seems like they're making up for that tenfold.
