What a pleasant surprise. It looks like Manchester Orchestra and The Front Bottoms are talking about doing a split 7” with each other in the vein of the releases Manchester did with Thrice and Grouplove over the past few years. Check out part of a new interview with Andy Hull via On Record Magazine below after the jump.

A split single with The Front Bottoms has been hinted at, is that still something you’re still looking at putting out?

Yeah, we definitely have an idea to do a lot of split 7″ with a lot of different bands. Like the Frightened Rabbit one, we did one with Grouplove and Thrice. We want to continue to do that with outside of the box bands, not that The Front Bottoms are outside of the box but we’re not exactly the same genre. We basically just have to figure out what it is, we thought about doing it for our tour together but we didn’t want to put out something that was not excellent so we’re going to spend a lot more time on it.
