'Architecture' is the third single from Australian alt-pop duo Manor, comprising vocalist Caitlin Duff and multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Morse.

Meticulously self-recorded in Melbourne at Elysian Fields, 'Architecture' was mixed by Ned Cooke (Dappled Cities, Swimwear) with additional production by Lee Groves (Goldfrapp, Elbow) before being mastered in Brooklyn by Joe Lambert (Toro Y Moi, The National.)

A compelling reverie characterized by horizonless rhythm, a charismatically psychedelic bass line and Duff's effortlessly layered-vocals atop Morse's swirling guitars, 'Architecture' marks Manor's last stand-alone release before that of their debut EP.

Avers – 'Omega / Whatever' – Out July 29th via Egghunt Records
Order: po.st/AversOW

With four songwriters, four singers, and 11 tracks of guitar-saturated rock & roll, Avers' second album, Omega/Whatever, is proof that there's strength in numbers.

The record shines new light on a band that made its first splash with 2014's Empty Light. Avers supported that debut release by leaving their hometown of Richmond, VA, and crisscrossing the country on tour, opening for bands like Foo Fighters and J. Roddy Walston along the way. They made a national splash during the 2015 SXSW Festival, too, with everyone from Esquire Maga-zine to The Daily Beast listing them as one of the week's breakout bands.

Two years after Empty Light's release, Omega/Whatever finds them returning to their unofficial headquarters — Montrose Recording, a modern studio located on a historic Richmond plantation and operated by bandmate Adrian Olsen — and creating another self-produced album of rumbling rock, shot through with pop hooks, layers of percussion, and coed melodies from four different vocalists. It's a mix of old and new, much like the studio that birthed it.

It's an album about balance, too, centered around the struggles of living in the modern world. There are songs about divorce, technology, late nights, corrupt politicians, and societal norms, all delivered by a group of songwriters who share their creative duties equally. Olsen, Alexandra Spalding, James Mason, and JL Hodges trade off vocal duties, too, with multi-instrumentalist Charlie Glenn pitching in on keyboards, harmonies, and swells of electric guitar. There's no consistent frontman, no singular leader, no main guitarist. Those roles are fluid, which makes Omega/Whatever very much the product of a band, not just one bandmate's vanity project.

Like the album that came before it, Avers' second release came together during a series of in-spired sessions at Montrose, with each song beginning as a fledgling idea brought to the table by one of the band's four writers. The entire group would then pitch in, turning that idea into something nuanced and layered. Avers would ultimately finish each song as a collective unit, recording the track the same day it was written. The result is an "infectious" and "ebullient" (The AV Club) sound that not only reintroduces the band, but not also offers an insider's look at their creative process.

Mixed by Peter Kadis (The National, Kurt Vile) and mastered with Greg Calbi, Omega/Whatever is a battle cry from a band that's fighting the good fight.

Whippoorwill

I laid on my back / An echo of silence / Floating on top a shallow pool of self awareness / Or a lack there of when I saw your face and I knew / That you were drunk

I laid on my back / An echo of silence / Floating on top a shallow pool of self awareness / Or a lack there of when I saw your face and I knew / That you had just cum / And you were far from done

All we want to do is to be something, be something we're not / But all we really need is to have someone to hold us when we're drunk

It's more than just sex / It's more than our bodies / It's more than a movement made from self loathing and irony / But I don't know what to call quite just yet / So I'm gonna shut up / Cuz I'm so far from done

All we want to do is to be something, be something we're not / But all we really need is to have someone to hold us when we're drunk

Broken Wire (feat. LANKS)

Here's the title track from our debut album, "Classic." Song out now on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music, etc. Full album coming JUNE 1.

LYRICS:

Driving in my hot rod,
Sipping on my Coca-Cola Classic,
And the radio is playing some old rock and roller singing,
‘bout a girl who ran away, yeah, some old classic,

Driving down Sunset, windows down,
Hear the motor blasting,
And the kids are on the streets, red, white, and blue popsicles,
Mountains in the background, so damn classic,

I’m living in the past with you,
Kick it old school’s what we do,
Anything for a good time,

I’m jumping into to bed with you,
California kids will do,
Anything for a good time,

Na na na na na…

Headed to the beach now,
Music of the mariachi passes,
All girls in their bikinis drinking coconut water,
All the surfers ride the waves, yeah, it’s so classic,

Underneath the sun, 
Everyone wearing black sunglasses,
Standing in the neon and they don’t know where they’re going,
Drowning sorrows in their milkshakes, so damn classic,

I’m living in the past with you,
Kick it old school’s what we do,
Anything for a good time,

I’m jumping into to bed with you,
California kids will do,
Anything for a good time,

Na na na na na…

Let’s go out and we can,
Rule this town for at least a weekend,
Me, you, and all of our friends too,

Let’s go out and find us,
All the good things that still remind us,
Love forever classic too

I’m living in the past with you,
Kick it old school’s what we do,
Anything for a good time,

Na na na na na…
