Bio / Background
With the release of their second full-length album, "A New and Greater Tokyo", Man of the Year - quite simply put - "shines". With melodic tracks driven heavily by sparkling guitars, swooping synths and cascading vocal harmonies, leader Morrisey's attention to lyrical detail punctuates the band's penchant for elaborate pop arrangements.
Man of the Year's long-anticipated release of "A New and Greater Tokyo" transcends the staleness of commercial rock and forgettable pop clichés, resulting in an even more sophisticated sound than their critically acclaimed previous effort. "The Future Is Not Now" (2000).
Founded in Portland, OR in 1998, Man of the Year quickly became local favorites touring their Brit-meets-American pop up and down the west coast. By 2000, they hooked up with producer Tony Lash (Dandy Warhols, Tahiti 80) and cut their first album, "The Future Is Not Now", released on Loveless Records.
