Manchester Orchestra have shared their reimagined acoustic cover of Cher‘s ‘Believe’. Check it out below.
Lead singer Andy Hull and guitarist Robert McDowell on keys sat down in the SiriusXM studio and transformed Cher’s 1998 electro-pop hit into an indie ballad. Their cover is a slow rendition focused on melody and vocals.
This cover comes days after the band’s release of their new EP ‘The Valley Of Vision’, a follow up to their sixth studio album, ‘The Million Masks of God’.
The album received a four-star review from NME and was described as “a record that traverses every corner of their sound, from beefy rock songs to string-assisted grandeur and acoustic bliss, further cementing their place as an under appreciated band to treasure.”
Manchester Orchestra are headed on tour, playing festivals as well as a co-headlining tour with Jimmy Eat World. Check out the dates below and get tickets here.
