On April 20th, music lovers around the world all frolicked to our favorite vinyl and CD shops in honor of National Record Store day, celebrating all aspects of the music industry. On that same day, Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchinson and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull gave us one more reason to celebrate with their collaborative single, “Architect”. The track strays from the traditional sound of both groups, opting for just acoustic guitar and vocals instead of the indie rock wall-of-sound produced by the full bands. The [...]
At times I worry this site is become a Frightened Rabbit fan-page , as whenever they release anything it tends to drown out other records. But if this blog is anything at all, it's a reflection of what I'm listening to and what I'm enjoying; to hide my fandom under a bushel would be to defeat the point. I do like Manchester Orchestra – the lynchpin of this two-track 123 – on his own merit, but probably wouldn't have shelled out for this Record Store Day special release [...]

Photos by Dan Schenker Photography When you go to a rock show on a special holiday, you never know what to expect from the crowd. When that special holiday is Cinco de Mayo, you really don't know what to expect from the crowd. An uneasiness settled in when I first arrived at The Wellmont Theater, located in the heart of Montclair, New Jersey, for that very reason. Were attendants there to support the bands and have a good time or get drunk out of their minds? I was in no mood [...]

The world has known quite a few great duos. Peanut butter and jelly. Sonny and Cher. Bert and Ernie. The list goes on and on and I'm happy to report there's a new partnership to add to the tried and true list of terrific twosomes: Manchester Orchestra and Grouplove. The bands' collaboration Make it to Me is all things wonderful. If I had to capture the greatness of this song in a few select words, bumping the focus on two to three, I'd say it's (1) inspired, (2) earnest, and... [...]

Another Record Store Day exclusive, Manchester Orchestra teamed up with the always happy Grouplove for a split vinyl. The tune "Make It To Me" is fun. I'm digging the dubstep sound they went for on this. Hopefully an MP3 comes around soon. They also did a track with Frightened Rabbit called "Architect". Not as exciting to me.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a Frightened Rabbit / Manchester Orchestra collaboration, but of course it is absolutely brilliant. It had me from the beginning strains of Scott Hutchinson's melancholy vocals. "Architect" is a lovely, sad song that pulls at all the right heart strings. This will be released as a 12" to celebrate Record Store Day . Look for it at your local independent record store. Related articles Mixtape: Spring [...]

Never thought I would ever see the day when Manchester Orchestra and Grouplove would collaborate on a track together. But then I remembered of a little thing called Record Store Day where the most unlikely of splits and teaming ups happen and it all made sense. The track “Make It To Me” is an electronic genre-blending extravaganza that really compliments the strengths of both bands at play. The expert pop sensibilities of Grouplove coupled with the dark, introspective lyrics from Manchester really give this a unique spin. [...]

Manchester Orchestra presents two interesting collaborations for Record Store Day. Canvasback/Atlantic recording artists Grouplove and Frightened Rabbit have both teamed up with Manchester Orchestra to release a very special 12-inch single for Record...

Manchester Orchestra have launched the stream of their collaborative Record Store Day release w/ Grouplove and Frightened Rabbit "Make It To Me" is a furiously infectious pop song that sounds nothing like it did when Andy Hull debuted it behind his lone acoustic guitar nearly a year ago: "Architect" is definitely the softer side, featuring FR front man Scott Hutchison and Andy Hull sweetly switching back and forth on vocal duties in [...]

Manchester Orchestra have collaborated with both Grouplove and Frightened Rabbit to produce a 123 vinyl for release on Record Strore Day . The first of the two tracks, Architect by Manchester Orchestra and Frightened Rabbit , contains the layered vocals of Andy Hull and Scott Hutchison. Throughout this acoustic number you identify with the despondency of the lyrics and are left in low spirits. However this is then juxtaposed with the second track Make It To Me, the Manchester Orchestra [...]

T his is a righteous collaboration, Frightened Rabbit & Manchester Orchestra teamed up on 1/2 of a 123 single for Record Store Day with this tune titled "Architect." It's a tenderly plucked confessional that begs for more collaboration between these two awesome bands. A nd on the other side of the special 123 is "Make It To Me," a collaboration between between Manchester Orchestra & Grouplove. It's a rock tune with Grouplove's electronic grooves, it really does feel like a smooth amalgamation of the two bands' sounds. Look [...]
