Manchester Orchestra Cover Jimmy Eat World's "Table For Glasses," Jimmy Eat World Cover Manchester Orchestra's "Telepath"
Hear Both Tracks on All Digital Platforms Now, Limited Edition 7" Vinyl Available Only via VIP Tour Ticket Packages

Today, ahead of their highly-anticipated, North American co-headline tour, Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World have teamed up to cover songs from each other's vast and beloved catalogs. As Manchester Orchestra pay tribute to "Table For Glasses," the opening track off Jimmy Eat World's classic Clarity LP, Jimmy Eat World reimagines "Telepath," an album highlight and enduring favorite from Manchester Orchestra's The Million Masks of God. Both of the original arrangements are simultaneously sparse, slow-burning and soaring in their delivery, speaking to the bands' shared strengths of cathartic melodies and vocal harmonies that invite fans to shout and sing along. While Jimmy Eat World flips "Telepath" on its head, turning the song's soft acoustics and spectral strings into a thunderous wall of electric guitar, Manchester Orchestra approach "Table For Glasses" with a subtle touch that equally and intricately retains its invigorating power.
"It was an absolute honor to trade covers with one of our favorite bands," says Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull. "We approached our cover with admiration for the original and had a blast exploring all of its spacious corners."

Jimmy Eat World's Jim Adkins adds, "Manchester Orchestra is great at sitting you down, spinning your chair around and stopping it to show you are now somewhere else. We knew if we were going to cover an immersive song like 'Telepath,' we'd have to commit to 'stopping the chair' at bizzaro-Jimmy Eat World universe."

Both covers will also be available on limited edition 7" vinyl, exclusively as part of the VIP Experience on the bands' upcoming Amplified Echoes Tour. Kicking off July 11th, and produced by Live Nation, Amplified Echoes will bring Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World to dozens of illustrious stages from coast to coast, including LA's Greek Theatre, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater, Chicago's Salt Shed, NYC's SummerStage in Central Park, and more through the end of August. Find the full list below and tickets HERE, featuring support from Middle Kids.
The Amplified Echoes Tour will see Manchester Orchestra perform music from their new album, The Valley of Vision, live for the very first time. The record was released alongside a breathtaking and groundbreaking film earlier this spring, enveloping the viewer in 180 degrees of 3D virtual reality. The dual release marked "one of the first instances of a rock band using VR to help tell the stories of their songs" (Alternative Press), and in a five-star review, Uncut said, "few bands are brave enough to try something this ambitious, even fewer have the talent to pull it off." Enter The Valley of Vision and explore more of its world in the music video for lead single "The Way,"currently climbing into the Top 20 on the AAA radio charts.
Celebrating three decades and 10 albums of existence in 2023, Jimmy Eat World will arrive at the Amplified Echoes Tour fresh off a string of shows with My Chemical Romance and the release of recent singles "Something Loud" and "Place Your Debts."
