The Orielles have some serious sing along potential. Sometimes Indie music can lack in the art of song writing. By that I mean a lack of of melodic importance.
Jobin is a real anthem track. From the opening words and the lovely downward inflection on the word‘ Brother’ in the opening line, you find yourself surfing the waterfall of The Orielles.
Though the Jobin EP is only three tracks long, it’ s an EP which also portrays great diversity. Twin Freaks takes us back into the more familiar Indie territory of the‘ soundscape’. But its composition is a bit more special than the norm. Here the guitar really steals the limelight, playing almost contrapuntal sounding background licks to an infectious Pixiesesque bass line groove. I guess the point we are making here is that the Jobin EP shows some real great potential.
Thankfully, then, an album is planned for the near future and that’ s a relief to hear. Further releases such as Space Doubt and the standout Joey Says We Got It backs this up. In fact, the latter is probably our favourite track by the band to date, and really shows what’ s still to come. Here the vocals really dominate, and for the first time forcefully take control of a great composition, propelling it to a higher level. But that’ s enough from us. Listen to the Jobin EP below and check out what The Orielles had to tell us...
You just featured on a new compilation from Healthy Eating. Tell us more about Joe Says We Got
It? The Orielles: Yeah those guys are rad and the tape features some top tunes. Joey is a track we released last year with the title inspired by a quote from one of our fave sitcom character Joey Tribbiani. It’ s a fun song to play live and despite its underlying message, it’ s a pretty summery and cheerful track.
Is playing summery surf rock music your way to stand out from the rest of the crowd? Not consciously, the genre is just something that comes naturally to us through listening to a wide range of musical influences that started through our love of the Beach Boys. We think it’ s a genre that is really growing in popularity though!
