'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.

How To Live With You

The first work to be revealed from Manor's forthcoming EP. Recorded at Elysian Fields, mixed by Gareth Jones and mastered by Joe Lambert.

Can You Hear Me Talking At You

The latest single from Manor's debut EP is ‘Grand Mal’, a sophisticated, brooding work painted with industrial tones that demonstrates the full depth of Duff’s vocal range as well as Morse’s knack for unconventional instrumental arrangement the combined effects of which are unsettling, singular and intoxicating.

The track was recorded at Elysian Fields in Melbourne, mixed by Gareth Jones (Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) in Shoreditch, London and mastered by Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, Unknown Mortal Orchestra) in Brooklyn, NYC.

Grand Mal

‘They’ve Come Into My Home’, the third and final single taken from the self-titled EP is a rambunctious affair replete with trumpeting guitar lines and clanging percussion courtesy of Morse while Duff asserts striking lyrics.
The single follows 2015's 'Can You Hear Me Talking At You' and 'Grand Mal', both receiving acclaim from publications such as NME and Rolling Stone.

‘Repent’ was mixed by Lee Groves (Goldfrapp, Bertie Blackman)and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, The White Stripes)in NYC. It is Manor's first single since their debut EP released early 2016, a bold and resolute statement powered by pounding drums, trumpeting guitars and Duff’s ardent multi- vocals.

Repent

Afghan Hound is the second release from Australian duo Manor, comprising Nathaniel Morse and Caitlin Duff. 

Afghan Hound was recorded in a Melbourne bedroom, mixed by Ned Cooke (Dappled Cities) with additional production by Lee Groves (Goldfrapp, Elbow) and mastered in Brooklyn by Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors.) 

A labyrinth of Morse's decaying guitars march to a hypnotic beat, providing the dreamlike backdrop for Duff's enchanted vocals in a superb slice of transcendental pop.

Is This What You Really Want?

It has always been interesting to view "The American Dream" from afar; the insatiable appetite for success that informs the choices and aspirations of the Super Power of the Western World. This song was written during the 2016 election when it seemed absolutely baffling that Trump was running for President, let alone that he won. It's not trivial, but somehow it didn't seem real. It was like another TV show streaming "same day as the US" but the consequences have been devastating for many.

We now know that it is not sustainable. Consumerism, materialism, capitalism. All of this leading to millions homeless, left behind and forgotten by their own government. At least, that's what it looks like from afar.
