Manchester in studio.

Last week was CRAZY!!! We’re still wrapping up The Enemy Lovers’ mixes and started recording the new Manchester Orchestra EP. The EP (as I understand it) will be released along with the DVD this fall. As expected, the new material is amazing. The band has experienced so much positive growth since we recorded their debut LP almost 2 years ago. The candle was burned from both ends throughout last week because we are not only trying to record 4 new songs, but we are enjoying the chance to get this much time together since they hit the road over a year ago. I feel EXTREMELY privileged to be working with the band again, because with big record label deals, come big label opportunities. So, to be hired among so many other options (insert any BIG NAME producer here) is an incredible demonstration of loyalty and trust–musically speaking. Thanks to Andy, Jeremiah, Chris, Jay, and Robert.

As you know, I saw Andy in the studio the last couple days, and heard just a smidge of what you guys are working on. From what you tell me, the MO stuff and Andy’s solo stuff are going to be pretty amazing. I believe you, my friend. So, no pressure, but it better be good!
I just got a wild hair and updated Manchester Orchestra’s Wikipedia page with a reference to this post and the fact they’re currently in-studio recording their second EP. Let’s see how long the moderators leave it up!
