Hope Lynes discovers The Orielles are moving past indie rock genre limitations on their new album
Heavenly Recordings
Released: 07.10.22
Opening with the split introductory track Chromo I and Chromo II sets the theme of this album. A relaxing delve into the ambient and experimental soundscape moving away from riffs and rock to more curated electronic ambience, haunting and different.
All sixteen tracks flow into one another, pushing the album as one sole piece of artwork over individual singles to puzzle the experiment together. This self-produced album feels like a true expression of The Orielles, moving past indie rock genre limitations into a experimental musical form that plays with electronic music. This impressive album, following 2020’s Disco Volador, takes a leap to build a previous sound into something new whilst still remaining distinctly The Orielles.
