Manchester Orchestra have announced a new EP, 'The Valley Of Vision'.
Due out digitally on March 10, the six-song release follows the Atlanta band's 2021 album, 'The Million Masks Of God', and will arrive accompanied by a short film that immerses viewers into 180 degrees of virtual reality, directed by Isaac Deitz.
Following sold-out screening events in Los Angeles tonight (February 23) and New York City on March 1, The Valley Of Vision will debut via a worldwide watch party on the group's official YouTube channel on March 9, the day before the EP drops. Physical formats will arrive on April 7.
"Making 'The Valley Of Vision' was an exciting idea of what the future could be for us in terms of how we create," frontman and guitarist Andy Hull explained. "None of these songs were written with the band being in the same room in a live setting. They were really like science experiments that started from the bottom and were added to gradually over time. We’re intrigued by doing things the wrong way, or attempting things we haven’t done before and getting inspired by them."
As a preview, they've shared the EP's opener, Capital Karma, a lush, atmospheric, piano-based indie-rock track. Press play below.
Manchester Orchestra will give UK fans the opportunity to hear their new material with shows at London's Union Chapel on May 13 and 15, with tickets on general sale at 10am on February 27. They'll also play a hometown set at the 10th Anniversary of Shaky Knees festival.
