Manchester Orchestra – Mean Everything To Nothing
Summer
is winding down, and that can only mean that the back to school angst that
surrounds the end of August is surely approaching. So rather than tag someone’s garage or slash a tire, why not
listen to some ballsy guitars?
Manchester
Orchestra’s 2009 release Mean Everything
to Nothing is still just as relevant as it was when it was released. It has the right amount of bite,
thoughtfulness, and wanton twenty-something coming of age lamenting to be your
end of summer sonic companion. The
second studio album from Andy Hull and company is filled with hooky riffs that
will make you air guitar all the way back to your dorm room, and while your
suitemates are listening to synthesizers and programmed drums, you can sit
pretty knowing these Atlanta GA based rockers are the real deal.
They’re
later releases (Fourteen Years of
Excellence, Simple Math, and Live from Park Ave *Record Store Day
Exclusive*) are all on sale at lakeshore.
Mean Everything to Nothing is
a solid starting point, and a good car ride back to campus worth of late 2000s indie
rock.
