Hey fans of Manchester Orchestra, listen up. Here’s a little story: It was way back in the summer of 2008, and Manchester Orchestra had just completed a lengthy tour. The guitarist, Robert McDowell, was camped out at his parents’ house in Atlanta without anything to do except occupy the basement. He was looking forward to a summer full of what all successful musicians do when not on the road nor in the studio: not much. But what started as a lazy summer quickly got boring. So McDowell headed into the local guitar shop and purchased some cheap equipment to keep himself busy. He set up shop in the basement and went to work.

Before he knew it, he had an album put together and a solo project was born: GOBOTRON!

McDowell, pulled a Dave Grohl, and recorded, produced, and played everything on the album. Manchester Orchestra’s label “Favorite Gentlemen” was happy to sponsor the project. Favorite Gentlemen describe Gobotron’s sound as “brilliant and addictive pop songs masked is layers of harmonies, guitars, and loads of distortion”. Too true, Favorite Gentlemen. Too true.

Both McDowell and Favorite Gentlemen were kind enough to offer up the free download “Never Turn Around” from Gobotron’s debut album which is now out in stores. Download, enjoy, and go buy the album.
