Biography

The regional South Australian based duo Manor is comprised of Nathaniel Morse and Caitlin Duff, who have been making music together since their teens. 
 Manor composes songs loyal to the timeless principles of pop composition yet without fear of complicated arrangements and intuitive instrumentation. Owing to an affection for classic rock, their songs bear distinguishable nods to Crosby, Stills & Nash as well as psychedelic traits in the vein of Pink Floyd. Equally, they are influenced by the avant-garde leanings of contemporaries Animal Collective and St Vincent. 
 The production of the video for ‘How to Live with You’ was a labour of love between the band and the members of singer Caitlin's family. Shot in New Zealand, the post-apocalyptic scenery acts as the perfect setting for the wandering hero (portrayed by Caitlin’s Sister, Ray) as she attempts to find her way back to a time that no longer exists. Elaborating on the themes of the video the band writes, “the story we’re telling here is one we really hope doesn’t come true for our two children, but it very well could.” They continue “It’s a crushing moment in adulthood when you realise you’re on your own, no matter how much you want to go back to simpler times.”
