Imagine Damien Rice jamming along with Sigur Ros, Guillemots and Coldplay and you will get a rough idea of the music of Manuel Da Costa

The twenty three year old's songs move from intimate and acoustic at one point to loud and edgy in the next, blurring the genres of singer/songwriter, Indie & Post Rock

The debut ep - Glass Heart,a collection of five thematically linked songs, is available as a CD and on iTUNES

New Album - Ghost of summer last Out on 14th July



Glass Heart ep - Out Now



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

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

i just recently got an interpol cd...Turn on the Bright Lights. I haven't sat down and had a good listen, but so far i like what I hear. I always find it funny when people name their favorite genres. It makes me wonder how many genres and sub-genres are out there now. Some day I'll just have a party and make up 100 sub-genres. I like pretty much all music!
