    Orcas provides much to engage fans of both Irisarri and Pioulard, as well as lovers of languid, abstracted pop song craft.

    The preponderance of the material here creates its own world, on its own terms, and beckons you to go inside. And you will.

    Orcas at first seems nondescript (and as such works well as background music, if your foreground is, let's say, a wintry gazebo), but it's an album one 'finds' after repeated close listens.

    It's pleasant, calming sleepy time pop. [Jun 2012, p.158]
