Man Plus Building is Jesse Kees, Rory Ventress, Mitch Wells, and Joshua Nee.
We formed in January of 2008. Since then, we've been fortunate enough to record two records with the worlds greatest producer, Fred Weaver, travel around a little bit, meet a bunch of awesome people, and play some pretty incredible shows with bands like HEALTH, Colour Revolt, British Sea Power, Ghastly City Sleep, GIRLTALK, Pygmy Lush, and Arms & Sleepers. We're making every attempt to continue to do so.
"...windswept, glorious instrumental rock...I'm a sucker for hooks, and Man Plus Building is all hook, all the time." - Most Intriguing Albums of 2008, 225 Magazine
"...the band often careens between slow contemplative passages and fiery moments, weaving between moods seamlessly, usually within a single song." - Alex V. Cook, 225 Magazine
"Some of the most polite young people I've encountered in a long time." - Rena B., waitress at Cracker Barrell store 100 - Burlington, NC
As I further immerse myself into the new album, I am finding more and more similarities to older Hopesfall...without the uber distortion. Keep makin that beautiful music, y'all.
