The Valley of Vision by Manchester Orchestra
The Valley of Vision is an EP by Manchester Orchestra, released in 2023. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Way”, on 9 lists with a best position of #6.
The Valley of Vision is Manchester Orchestra's eighth EP, and it grew out of the same sessions that gave the Atlanta band The Million Masks of God. Loma Vista put it out digitally on March 10, 2023, with physical copies following on April 7, and it came paired with a virtual reality film directed by Isaac Deitz.
Andy Hull, Robert McDowell, Andy Prince and drummer Tim Very keep things hushed and slow-burning here, trading the band's usual avalanche for patient, prayerful builds,, "The Way" among them. Critics heard the shift: AllMusic gave it 4 stars and traced a path from private confession to bright pop release, Alternative Press called it solemn and heard the band shedding an old skin, and Clash, while praising its emo moodiness, took issue with Hull's singing.
