(PR) Canvasback Music/Favorite Gentlemen Recordings is proud to announce the release of a new EP/DVD from Manchester Orchestra entitled Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind, available via independent retail only (see thinkindie.com for a list of participating stores) on October 14th. This EP/DVD combo will feature the never before released "What's Left Behind" documentary film directed by Sam Erickson of 44 Pictures, three live tracks, and two brand new songs. The first track on the EP, "I Can Feel A Hot One" will be prominently featured in the September 15th episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl".
Let My Pride Be What's Left Behind continues the band's progression and signature sound that was lauded on the 2006 debut album I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child; powerful melodies synched with poignant lyrics. The short-form documentary was filmed and edited by Erickson (My Morning Jacket's Okonokos and Dave Matthews Live At Radio City) and explores the close bond between the band members on tour and highlights the constant themes of life, happiness, religion and death; threads that are echoed throughout the music and lyrics that make up the fabric of Manchester Orchestra.
Starting this week at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN, the making of the sophomore album, officially titled Mean Everything To Nothing, gets underway. Co-produced by Joe Chicarelli (The Shins, My Morning Jacket and Manchester Orchestra.
