“their grandest vision to date”
- UPROXX (Best Albums of 2021 So Far)

Toronto, ON – June 30, 2021 – On the heels of announcing a massive North American tour supporting their most acclaimed album yet, Manchester Orchestra have shared Local Natives’ remix of their Top 2 AAA and Top 20 Alternative radio hit, Bed Head, which has been lauded as “an epic fit for sold out venues” (Consequence). Bed Head (Local Natives Remix)—out today via Loma Vista Recordings—transforms the urgent rocker into a softened, danceable tune with synths, keys, and an airy alteration of singer Andy Hull’s vocals. Bed Head is the lead single off The Million Masks of God, released April 30 to career-high praise from Stereogum, NPR Music, Uproxx, SPIN, and many more.

Manchester Orchestra will bring The Million Masks of God to life with a triumphant North American tour that will span across October/November 2021 and February/March 2022, and include shows at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom on October 21, Vancouver's Rickshaw Theatre on February 21, LA’s Hollywood Palladium on February 26, Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre on March 15, and Montreal's Corona Theatre on March 16. See below for a full itinerary of dates. Tickets are on sale now here.
 
Manchester Orchestra—Hull, Robert McDowell, Tim Very, and Andy Prince—recently released the heavy, slow-burning new song, Never Ending, their contribution to the Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack, executive produced by Tyler Bates (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Watchmen,” “John Wick”) and out digitally now. It followed the gorgeous Bed Head (Acoustic), a stripped-back version of the lead single; the band has also performed a blistering rendition of Bed Head for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert #PlayAtHome series. Check out the band’s guest appearances on WNYC New Sounds, Comedy Bang Bang’s 12th anniversary special, Kesha And The Creepies podcast, and Emily Kinney’s My Caffeine Withdrawal.
 
Produced by Manchester Orchestra’s lead songwriting duo of Hull and McDowell, Catherine Marks (PJ Harvey, The Killers) and Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers), The Million Masks Of God presents an even grander scale of the epic and re-focused approach to record-making that the band has forged in recent years. Their sixth album finds the band relentlessly pushing themselves to create a work that breaks beyond the scope and limits of every previous release in an effort to create their most towering achievement to date, all while sorting through the aftermath of a devastating loss.

Praise for The Million Masks of God:
 
“Manchester Orchestra’s most plainly beautiful album. I’d also argue it’s their best”
- Stereogum
 
“A record that feels dynamic and vital – while still respecting the band’s legacy so far – The Million Masks of God is astonishing” - DIY Mag
 
"The songs here are often as big as ever" - The AV Club 
 
"One of indie-rock’s most visceral and essential bands" - Guitar World 
 
"[an album] that feels like the story of an unmade Ingmar Bergman film."
- WNYC New Sounds
 
“... The Million Masks of God is a gorgeously tuneful and thought-provoking gem.”
- Consequence
 
"...what makes The Million Masks of God so impressive is that it really doesn't sound like any other Manchester Orchestra album. Andy Hull's unmistakable voice and distinct songwriting style make this immediately recognizable...but it feels like an entirely new chapter of their career." - Brooklyn Vegan 
 
“They’ve maintained the style laid out on A Black Mile but imbued it with more splendor.”
- Paste
 
“Leave it to Manchester Orchestra to write an album that leaves you feeling both bereft and whole again in one swoop. The alt-rock band’s sixth LP...surges with sadness and hope in equal measure.” - Relix
 
"Manchester Orchestra is one of the greatest bands alive right now, and The Million Masks of God is yet another feather in their cap." - Sputnik (5 stars/classic)
 
“To listen to the new album, The Million Masks of God, from the Atlanta-based rock group, Manchester Orchestra, is to inhabit a cathedral-like building and let your ears take in each swell, each ring and each echo as the vibrations subsume and the medicine of music takes hold.” - American Songwriter
 
“another haunting yet blissful magical gem that puts them in a category of their own."
- PunkNews
