Manchester Orchestra Streaming New Album Online

03/27/2014
. (Radio.com) If you're one of those Manchester Orchestra fans who just can't wait until April 1 to hear the band's new album Cope, you're in luck. The band is streaming their latest record, a follow-up to 2011′s Simple Math, right now-a little less than a week before its official release date-via YouTube.

For their fourth release, the band demoed around 28 songs in a new home studio, paring them down to 11 tracks that run a taut 38 minutes. The band's frontman, Andy Hull, says this new album is comprised of "unapologetic heavy rock" that reflects their new, more aggressive sound that can be heard on the album's first single, "Top Notch."

The title of the album also reflects the music's more aggressive tone, explaining in a press statement that "Cope, to me, means getting by. It means letting go, and being OK with being OK. You can cope in a positive way when bad things happen, or a negative way, and that blend was a big lyrical theme for me on this album." Check out the album here.
