Manchester Orchestra have announced a release date for their third record,' Simple Math.' The album will be released May 10 on Favorite Gentlemen/Columbia.


Frontman Andy Hull made the following statement about the record being a concept album.


"This record is two dueling coversations between me and my wife, and me and my God. Sometimes even for myself, it's difficult to decipher which one I'm actually talking to. Everything I've written in the past has been about those things. This album is the most realized form of my questioning."


The band will follow the release with an extensive tour.
