Love, Loss & Music: Interview with Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull & Robert McDowell

FEARLESS MEDIA: The Future Of Entertainment, Media & Tech

In this very special and deeply personal episode, Peter interview great indie band Manchester Orchestra's singer, chief songwriter and guitarist Andy Hull and lead guitarist (and brother-in-law) Robert McDowell about the band's latest great album "The Million Masks of God." The album's themes encapsulate the entire cycle of life - from birth to the after-life. Peter reveals that his mother, Eva, just recently passed away from her 5 year battle with cancer – and Manchester Orchestra’s McDowell, lost his father to cancer as they recorded the album. Hull, McDowell and Peter not only have a track by track discussion of the album (and what the lyrics mean to the writers of it). The core of their discussion is about the infinite meanings and impact those same lyrics can have on an artist’s audience. It is an interview about love, loss, and the deep power of music to console and to heal. Peter wrote a companion about this interview for VARIETY – an article titled “Love, Loss & Music: How Manchester Orchestra’s Songs of Solace Helped a Grieving Son Heal."
