+ JIMMY EAT WORLD COVER MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA’S TELEPATH

HEAR BOTH TRACKS ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS NOW
WITH LIMITED EDITION 7” VINYL AVAILABLE ONLY VIA VIP TOUR TICKET PACKAGES

AMPLIFIED ECHOES TOUR BEGINS JULY 11
BRINGING BOTH BANDS TO MORE THAN 30 CO-HEADLINED DATES INCLUDING LA’S GREEK THEATRE, RED ROCKS, NYC’S SUMMERSTAGE + CANADIAN DATES IN CALGARY AND TORONTO

TORONTO, ON – June 8, 2023 – Today, ahead of their highly-anticipated, North American co-headline tour, Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World have teamed up to cover songs from each other’s vast and beloved catalogues. As Manchester Orchestra pay tribute to Table For Glasses, the opening track off Jimmy Eat World’s classic Clarity LP, Jimmy Eat World reimagine Telepath, an album highlight and enduring favourite from Manchester Orchestra’s The Million Masks of God. Listen to Manchester Orchestra’s cover of Table For Glasses via Loma Vista Recordings, here.

Both of the original arrangements are simultaneously sparse, slow-burning and soaring in their delivery, speaking to the bands’ shared strengths of cathartic melodies and vocal harmonies that invite fans to shout and sing along. While Jimmy Eat World flips Telepath on its head, turning the song’s soft acoustics and spectral strings into a thunderous wall of electric guitar, Manchester Orchestra approach Table For Glasses with a subtle touch that equally and intricately retains its invigorating power.

“It was an absolute honour to trade covers with one of our favourite bands,” says Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull. “We approached our cover with admiration for the original and had a blast exploring all of its spacious corners.”

Jimmy Eat World’s Jim Adkins adds, “Manchester Orchestra is great at sitting you down, spinning your chair around and stopping it to show you are now somewhere else. We knew if we were going to cover an immersive song like Telepath, we’d have to commit to ‘stopping the chair’ at bizzaro-Jimmy Eat World universe.” Listen to Jimmy Eat World’s cover of Telepath via Exotic Location Recordings, here.

Both covers will also be available on limited edition 7” vinyl, exclusively as part of the VIP Experience on the bands’ upcoming Amplified Echoes Tour. Kicking off July 11, and produced by Live Nation, Amplified Echoes will bring Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World to dozens of illustrious stages from coast to coast, including Canadian dates in Calgary and Toronto, as well as LA's Greek Theatre, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater, Chicago's Salt Shed, NYC's SummerStage in Central Park, and more through to the end of August. Find the full list below and tickets here, featuring support from Middle Kids.

The Amplified Echoes Tour will see Manchester Orchestra perform music from their new album, The Valley of Vision, live for the very first time. The record was released alongside a breathtaking and groundbreaking film earlier this spring, enveloping the viewer in 180 degrees of 3D virtual reality. The dual release marked "one of the first instances of a rock band using VR to help tell the stories of their songs" (Alternative Press), and in a five-star review, Uncut said, "few bands are brave enough to try something this ambitious, even fewer have the talent to pull it off." Enter The Valley of Vision and explore more of its world in the music video for lead single The Way, currently climbing into the Top 20 on the AAA radio charts.

Celebrating three decades and 10 albums of existence in 2023, Jimmy Eat World will arrive at the Amplified Echoes Tour fresh off a string of shows with My Chemical Romance and the release of recent singles, Something Loud and Place Your Debts.

ABOUT MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA:
Manchester Orchestra continues to push themselves into fascinating new realms with their latest release, The Valley of Vision, a reinvigorating record and awe-inspiring film that immerses the viewer in 180 degrees of 3D virtual reality. From continuously appearing on Billboard charts and major festival lineups, to earning hundreds of millions of streams and frequently collaborating with visionaries like the Daniels (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Swiss Army Man), Manchester Orchestra have followed up their acclaimed 2021 album, The Million Masks of God, with six songs rooted in a renewed sense of resilience, rebirth and self-redemption, delivered through a wealth of sounds and textures unlike anything the band has made before.

ABOUT JIMMY EAT WORLD:
Jimmy Eat World is celebrating three decades and 10 albums of existence in 2023. The Mesa, AZ, four-piece’s commercial breakthrough came with the release of several singles from their album, Bleed American, with The Middle hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and peaking at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 33 weeks total and became RIAA-certified Platinum. Futures, their follow-up to BA, featured Pain, which also hit No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. In October 2019, the band released their tenth album, the critically acclaimed, Surviving, which became one of three 'chapters' of their 2021 globally streamed series, Phoenix Sessions, that also included Futures (Chapter V) and Clarity (Chapter III), performed in their entirety (available on YouTube here). Recently, they’ve released two independent singles, Something Loud and Place Your Debts, with the former charting 21 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay.
