Manchester Orchestra - The Million Masks of God (April 30, 2021) Album • Page 296

He put out the Born of You and Who is Your Humble? Demo records in 2020. Those kind of releases will probably be the only ‘solo’ stuff he does, aside from RAGC.

There will inevitably be more, especially now that he can distance himself from a lot of the songs.

For years he didn’t want a lot of things out there because they were ‘private’ records/songs that leaked one way or another, but a lot of those songs ended up on those demo records.

 

More in the sense of the fact he’s playing “Marriage” and “X-ray” live. They do seem to just be old private demos or RAGC songs. They’d probably fit right in if Bad Books IV was similar to Bad Books III.

 

I always pegged Married as a Bad Books song but I’m just a guy on the internet.

 

If he wants to keep them for the solo live setting to be the only place to hear a song I guess that’s fine too.

I do think it would nice to have an EP to sell on a solo tour in the future though, similar to the production on on MMOG acoustic or BB III. Just a thought. Just a thought. Not like Andy isn’t a busy guy to begin with.

 

Which songs from those two demo albums had previously leaked? A number of them were posted on the band's myspace or Andy's tumblr (Unholy Bathrooms, 42, Badges & Badges, The Pilot, Millions Even) but the actual song "Who Is Your Humble?" is the only one I recall previously having but not knowing where it came from.

 

I can’t tell you everything my iPod had/has, but off the top of my head

When we were trees
Wolves 2
Be thou my vision
Alligator
Who is your humble

I’m sure others. I’ll dust off the ipod eventually.

 

I forgot about "When We Were Trees". I know "Be Thou My Vision" was shared on his tumblr and "Alligator" was shared on Rolling Stone or some other news site along with two other songs. Basically I just didn't know of many of those comp songs being previous leaks so I was wondering if I was just out of the loop. Seems like I was at least a bit


Does anyone know the song "Pulled Up Smile"? It was posted as a feature on AP back in the day, haven't ever been able to actually find it though. Not sure if it's out there somewhere

 

I don’t believe so.

 

Did anything ever come of those extra song titles on the patreon variant of Million Masks? @ManchesterOrch8 got any info?

 

The words are on all the deluxe MMOG jackets.


Nothing as of yet. But soon enough.

 

That sounds like a confirmation of sorts

 

Wasn’t Manchester supposed to come out with some line of shoes or something? I know there was something about shoes.

 

Yeah, baby shoes... never used...

 

Edible shoes

 

The edibility of a shoe is really up to the individual’s perspective

 

SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!

 

Seriously! The whole ending just crushes

 

Lol I can see myself, my girlfriend and friend all head banging in synchronization front and center on that second breakdown.

 

Just found out they're headlining this new mini-festival in my hometown.

 

@The Spoonman better be there presiding over things

 

seein these boys tonight! looking forward to finally hearing some of these new songs live.

 

Folks, they’re still good.

 

Dinosaur more like DinoH my god
