Manuel Da Costa is a twenty four year old singer songwriter based in Manchester. Drawing inspiration from influences like Coldplay, Travis, Guillemots, The Divine Comedy and Sigur Ros, his songs encompass love, loss and everything else in between. Not the usual acoustic guitar folky-singer/songwriter type, his music moves from intimate and acoustic at one point to loud and edgy in the next, blurring the genres of singer/songwriter, Indie & Post Rock.
His new album ‘The Ghost of Summer Last’ is released on dPulse records and is available to buy from Amazon UK/US and iTunes.
Be it the ambient to prog-rock transformation of 'Glass Heart', the warm guitar-led lullaby of 'Life After Love' or the indie-pop of 'When Tomorrow Comes', the production really sparkles and the songs shine. - The-Mag
Grand, melodic, Neil Hannon-esque composition – with the guitars, keyboards and strings hitting all the right sentimental buttons- 24/7
The EP has an epic feel, orchestrated with strings and intensified with delay/reverb. Sonic sounds also dart through the mix like flashes of lightning - Whisperin & Hollerin
