DESCRIPTION :
What's most striking about Manchester Orchestra's debut full-length, I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child, isn't how much the Atlanta-based group have evolved in the two decades since it's release, but how much of their identity was already there from the very beginning. Recorded without a label, outside expectations or even a surplus of material, the album found the band embracing spontaneity over perfection and, in the process, establishing the emotional and sonic hallmarks that would become their defining quality.The organ that swells throughout the album-opening ""Wolves at Night"" recalls the band's Southern gospel upbringing, but when laid atop a dirty, downtuned guitar riff indebted to '90s fuzz, it creates competing impulses that ripple through every corner of the record. It's that transparency and fearlessness that helped Virgin transcend the scene that first embraced it, leading to it's re-release through the band's Favorite Gentlemen imprint in partnership with Canvasback/Sony and paving the way for tours with Kings of Leon, appearances at festivals like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Reading and Leeds and a national TV debut on the Late Show with David Letterman. To celebrate that enduring legacy, Manchester Orchestra is marking I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child's 20th anniversary with a deluxe reissue featuring all-new packaging, arriving alongside a series of special performances honoring the first entry in one of rock's most consistently adventurous catalogs.
