Let My Pride Be What’s Left Behind

Manchester Orchestra

A raw, transitional EP capturing the band in their most vulnerable state. Sparse acoustic arrangements and live radio sessions reveal the skeletal beauty of their songwriting.

It's the sound of the band's biggest songs stripped down to their bare, emotional bones.

A quiet, devastating intimacy that feels like eavesdropping on a private confession.
