Manchester Orchestra Share Dirty Projectors’ Reimagined Version of “Telepath”

By: Staff –

Manchester Orchestra has shared a new version of their latest single “Telepath,” reimagined by Dirty Projectors; watch its animated video below. The track is a deconstructed and kaleidoscopic rendering of the heartfelt original from the band’s new album, The Million Masks of God. “Telepath (Dirty Projectors Version)” follows Local Natives’ reworking of Masks’ lead single “Bed Head”.

The track’s release coincides with Manchester Orchestra’s long-awaited and much anticipated return to the road as their North American tour—their first in nearly two years—kicks off tonight at Dallas’ Gas Monkey. Upcoming shows include a performance at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom on October 21st, as well as their 11th annual hometown festival The Stuffing at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre on November 19th. A new, tour-exclusive deluxe version of The Million Masks of God, pressed on transparent red with white flecks vinyl and featuring a new poster insert, will be available for sale during the tour. Early next year, Manchester Orchestra will resume their North American tour, which includes one of their biggest Los Angeles shows to date at the Hollywood Palladium on February 26th (see below for a full itinerary of dates; tickets are on sale now HERE). 

Produced by Manchester Orchestra’s lead songwriting duo of Andy Hull and Robert 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 of Hull, McDowell, Tim Very, and Andy Prince 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.
