On May 10, Manchester Orchestra will release its third album, Simple Math via Columbia Records and Favorite Gentlemen Recordings.

Simple Math is a concept album that focuses on songwriter Andy Hull’s questions about marriage, religion, love and sex. “This record is two dueling conversations between me and my wife, and me and my God,” Hull says in a statement. “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.”
